Summery: A series of drabbles, tied together in their own sweet little ways, set after "Greed" and focusing around what should be known as the precursor to all things Nelric - the FLOWERS!

~*~ Anemone ~*~
Four and a half months.
That's how long it had been since that very first lilac had shown up on her keyboard.
Nell had been bouncing like a trapped rubber ball ever since this latest flower's arrival. Nobody could really figure out why. For those who knew flowers, it just looked to be a purple anemone, albiet a very striking purple anemone.
It was Kensi who finally decided to figure out what the deal was. She headed up to Ops and stayed there for maybe fifteen minutes. When she came back, the brunette was almost as giddy as Nell had been.
Nell's mystery man had asked her out!
Needless to say, the boys were more than curious about it. Kensi told them how the anemone's card had read If you're game, I'll be at Halstrad's Pub at seven PM. Wear this flower so I can find you, and I'll have a matching one.
Callen and Sam smiled at the thought of Nell's love life taking off, while Kensi giggled like a schoolgirl at the prospect. Only Deeks was noticeably silent as he slipped back upstairs into Ops to ask his own questions.
"Hey Red," he said to the small woman. "You sure about this?"
Nell's smile turned into an annoyed scowl. "You sound like Eric," she accused. "You going to tell me this is a bad idea too?"
He shook his head slowly. "No. Just wondering what you're expecting."
"I'm just expecting to meet this guy, maybe have a real date for once," Nell stated, clear and concise as one of her intelligence reports.
Her answer apparently calmed Deeks, because his only response was, "All right. Just let us know how it goes, okay?"
Her smile was blinding with excited anticipation. "Of course."
Will we learn the identity of the mystery man? I think so! - maybe.
Review please!
