'The man should fall in love with a woman of a higher social class, probably Married, so that she is unattainable'

"Hey Montana, how was the big date last night?" Danny cheekily asked

"It was good" Lindsay said bluntly as she walked into their shared office.

"Aww, come on Montana put a smile on your dial" Lindsay looked up and smiled "See, look how good I am in my superior-ness, one look at me and your smiling"

The comment made Lindsay burst out laughing. She has a beautiful laugh and smile Danny thought to himself come on Messer you shouldn't be thinking about that stuff. She's your partner. Danny soon came back to earth with the sound of Lindsay's soft words.

"Hey Danny, I was thinking that it's been ages since the whole team went out, you know" Lindsay began

"Yeah" Danny responded

"Well I thought we should go to the opera on Saturday. Can you come?" Lindsay asked with pleading eyes. I hate the opera, but I can't say no to her Danny said to himself.

"Hmm…the opera. You know it's not really my thing. But what the hell" Danny agreed.

"Great. Okay it is formal. So of course suit and tie" Lindsay said with a nod as she left the room, a smile on her face as she got ready to tell the rest of the team.

I like making her smile Danny thought.

Saturday came quickly and Danny was waiting with Mac, Flack, Stella and Hawkes for Lindsay.

"How long did she say she was going to be?" Flack asked

"I don't know she said she was held up in traffic, but would be here soon" Stella replied

Danny looked down, then looked up again and saw Lindsay in a knee length black dress that flowed down her body.

"Hey guys" Lindsay greeted.

"Hey Linds you look beautiful" Flack said as he went to hug her. Why the hell are they hugging? Flack isn't supposed to be hugging my Montana… Messer when did she become your Montana she has always been Just Montana.

Lindsay said her hello's to everyone then said hello to Danny. "Hey thanks for coming it means a lot that you would go out tonight even though you hate the opera"

"No problem" Danny replied

Then that's when time went still. Danny looked into her deep brown eyes and saw something. Something that wasn't usually there, Could it be love?

Lindsay looked down at her feet then looked back up again and kissed Danny's cheek.

Jesus…I think I'm in love Danny thought with a dumbfounded look on his face.

Then reality came crashing down.

"Linds" Peter said. Peter was Lindsay's boyfriend. He was the perfect guy. But Peter wasn't Danny. Lindsay's face lit up as she went over and kissed Peter.

I want to make her light up like that. Danny thought then that's what you're going to do Messer. You're going to make her realize how much you love her.

"Hey Danny lets go" Hawkes said to him, pulling him out of his thoughts.
