Tim waits on the sofa as Marcella fetches the beer from the fridge. Once she's opened the bottles, she makes her way back to living room and hands Tim his beer before sitting on the sofa to join him. "I hear you caught Peter Cullen. Congratulations."

"Yeah, thanks." she replied flatly. She turned her head to Tim and she notices the frown on his face, "Well, we caught him but there's still a copycat killer out there." she says before shaking her head lightly and looking down at her bottle.

"Tim's eyes also look down, "But you're half way there, Marcella. And if you can catch Peter Cullen after 11 years, you can catch whoever's doing this." he encourages with a smile. Marcella knew the compliment that he was giving, and she'd be lying if she didn't appreciate it. Tim was worried things may end up being a bit awkward after he basically confessed his feelings for her, but luckily things seemed to be the same.

"What if I don't get them? What if this goes on for 11 years like Cullen's case did?" she wondered. Her self-doubt always got the better of her, but that's usually with her fugues; career wise, she was usually quite confident in what she was doing. But seeing as it did take her eleven years to catch the Grove Park Murderer, she couldn't help but worry that history was now repeating himself.

Tim didn't have the answers, he wish he did. Nobody would know what to do in that situation, but he believed that Marcella would find the right person in the end. He took another sip of his beer and put it down on the table, "I better go." he says, standing up from hi seat.

"Please." Marcella says, lightly grabbing his wrist and also standing up, "Stay." Tim was conflicted, he didn't know whether to stay or not; though he did want to, he just didn't want to ruin anything. Marcella's waist moved closer towards his and her fingers hooked into his belt loops to pull him closer to her. "I want you to stay."

Tim couldn't resist her much longer, he'd been waiting for this moment a long time; the moment that he could finally kiss her. He wanted it to be the right moment, and though he still wasn't sure this was exactly it, he placed his hand lovingly on her cheek and slowly moved his face to press his lips to hers. Marcella immediately responded to the kiss, it was much more passionate than she expected her first kiss with Tim to be, but it's completely what she wanted and more. His hand moved from her cheek and his fingers tangled within her hair and her hands found themselves around his neck and hooking behind his head.

The kiss eventually broke off and Tim smiled at Marcella, "You never missed your moment, Tim. It was just waiting for the right time." Tim didn't respond with words, just another kiss.
