It had been a long few weeks in the bullpen. They had just finished working on a tough case. It was late Friday afternoon, and most of them were beginning to leave saying their goodbyes and wishing everyone a great weekend. Lucy had left a few hours before, leaving early for an appointment. It was only Sue and Jack who were left to finish up their reports. Jack looked over at Sue, she was busy working with her head down. He took these moments to just gaze at her beauty, as he let out a deep sigh.
A few weeks had passed since she almost transferred to New York, that was the worst time of his life. He realized then that he never wanted to live without her, but he still didn't work up the nerve to tell her how he felt. He was waiting for the perfect moment. His phone began to ring, startling him out of his daydreams.
"Hudson," he said.
Sue looked up noticing movement coming from his desk and saw Jack's phone conversation.
"Really, are you sure? I'm sorry to hear that. Is there anything I can do?''
Okay I will be by later to pick up the tickets."
Jack hung up and saw that Sue was watching him. "Is everything okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, a friend of mine has tickets to the game tonight, but he can't go due to a family emergency. He said I could have the tickets, I just have to pick them up at his office. Hey do you want to go to a Hockey game with me tonight?"
"Me? Wouldn't you want to take Bobby?" She said, thinking he should be the first one Jack would want to go with to a Hockey game.
"No, I want to take you. You've done an amazing job on this case, you deserve a night out to have some fun. Do you have plans tonight?" He asked.
"Not really, I was just going to relax and watch some television." She replied.
"So will you go with me?" Jack pleaded, giving her puppy dog eyes hoping she couldn't refuse.
Sue laughed, "Okay, okay, I will go with you."
Jack had a huge grin on his face. "Great I will pick you up around six."
Sue nodded, she finished her report and then grabbed her coat. "See you later Jack."
He looked up and smiled with a little wave. He was almost done and he couldn't wait to begin his date with Sue.
