A/N: Ok this fic is very... interesting. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I wrote it... Anyway, since I find prologues kind of pointless (but that's all this is) I've posted chapter one too. This is a what-if fic, what if Eric asked Calleigh out directly after the shooting? (so if he's a bit odd, it's because he's still recovering and such). I realize the POV changes from third to second in the summary, but, hey, whatever.
Disclaimer, if I owned this, I'd be so happy, I'd die.

Engage a conversation. Because you love the sound of her voice. Compliment her. Because her blushing smile sends your heart into cartwheels. Wait for her response. You know you'll wait forever for her. Ask her if she's doing anything Saturday night. She still has your heart after all of this time.
Of course you know just where you're going to take her: the carnival. Maybe a little lame, sure, but for you, it's perfect. Besides, you're not going to tell her where you're taking her, you'll say it's a surprise. She'll probably tell you're disorganized or something. Something you've been for a while now, but you'll just laugh, and hope that she laughs too, because you're dying to hear the sound.
The only reason you want to take her to the carnival is because you want take her to the Ferris Wheel. Again, maybe not the best thing in the world, but to you, it's perfect. Up there with the view of the starry sky above you, and the lights of Miami below you, with just enough chill in the air to wrap your arms around her… and then maybe a kiss? It doesn't matter how the day goes, you want to end the day with a kiss, even if it's just one. Just one, and you'll be hooked for life.
That is of course, if she takes you up on your offer. You don't want to think about what'd happen if she doesn't. You're hopelessly addicted to her, is that healthy?
But that's enough of that, because here she comes. Her beauty still takes your breath away. Deep breaths, Delko, it's either now or never.
