"Mmmmm…such a good dream…wha? McGee! Why are you here?"

"We fell asleep listening to music, remember?"

"Of course…I am sorry for drooling on you-and you would probably like to have your shoulder back"

"Actually, it was kind of nice. Well, maybe not the drool, but that's OK. I really miss waking up with somebody other than Jethro"

"Oh, is there something you wish to tell me?"

"Sheesh Ziva, you know I mean the dog. And how can you be in such a good mood after sleeping sitting up on the couch?"
"I had a most comfortable pillow as I recall"

"Ha ha. Now where is your coffee maker? I REALLY need some caffeine!"

" I am sorry McGee, you are just so much fun to tease. I must admit that I do miss having someone as well…"

"You know you called me Tim last night…it sounded nice."

"Well Tim, if you would shut the music off I will fix you some coffee"

"I don't mind it…there's a pretty good song coming up. You were right-I needed to listen to some country music…although listening to the same album over and over was a bit much"

"How long were you awake? You should have woken me up-wait, were you watching me sleep!"

"Maybe. How creepy would it be if I was? You looked very peaceful though…and beautiful"

"Are you just saying that so I will not punish you for watching me sleep? Because yes, that IS creepy!"

"No, I'm saying it because I mean it Ziva…and I know I shouldn't say anything but I can't help it. Being with you-well, it makes me happy"
"Tim, I…"

"I think I love you Ziva, and I am so scared to tell you because I just don't know if you could ever love me too. And…and I don't want to ruin our friendship, but I just can't not say anything…"

"Shhh, Tim…I may have…feelings as well. As a friend of course, but something more I think. We are both alone-I would be agreeable to exploring a closer relationship with you"

"But what if it doesn't work?

"Then we will remain friends. You and Abby have remained good friends, yes?"

"But I can't do that again Ziva. I lost a little piece of my heart every day for a long, long time hoping for her to change her mind and want me as more than a friend…I don't think there's enough of it left to go through that one more time. It's stupid-just forget I said anything! I'm gonna go…"

"Tim! Wait!"

"I'm sorry Ziva. We had such a great time and I had to go and ruin it for you…"

"Tim…"

"?"

"!"

"Was…was that a 'goodbye' kiss Ziva?"

"No. It was too enjoyable for goodbye. I do not know what will happen between us Timothy McGee, but I do not want to pass this opportunity by. We have both been hurt, perhaps we can heal together-yes?"

"Yes Ziva, yes…"

I really hate to let this moment go

Touching your skin and your hair falling slow

When a good bye kiss, feels like this…

Don't you wanna stay here a little while?

Don't you wanna hold each other tight,

Don't you wanna fall asleep with me tonight?

Don't you wanna stay here a little while?

We can make forever feel this way

Don't you wanna stay?

Let's take it slow I don't want to move too fast

I don't wanna just make love, I wanna make love last

When you're up this high, it's a sad goodbye

Don't you wanna stay here a little while?

Don't you wanna hold each other tight,

Don't you wanna fall asleep with me tonight?

Don't you wanna stay here a little while?

We can make forever feel this way

Don't you wanna stay?
