It was beautiful.

Sat in the open box on her desk for the whole world to see.

The locket sparkled as the sun came in through the window.

The long chain lay outside of the box waiting to be hung around it's owners neck.

The oval locket glittered as Stella walked closer to it. She felt Mac come to stand behind her as she slumped down in her chair still gazing at the beautiful pendant.

Her hand shakily moved towards the box picking up the locket and flipping the catch, opening it to look at the picture inside.

It was a miniature picture of the one she had in the front of her photo album.

You could see their large smiles as they sat on a bench in central park bathing in the New York sun.

A hand covered hers as she stared at the picture and flipped the locket closed pulling it from her hands he lifted her hair with one hand pushing it over her shoulder.

Mac pulled the chain around her neck. It was long enough so that if she wanted to wear it at work it could easily be hidden underneath her top.

Mac fastened the latch behind her neck smoothing the skin there for a second before dropping a light kiss to the latch and letting her hair fall back to where it was originally.

"My place tonight?" Mac whispered softly in her ear as his arms encircled her. "We can order Chinese and you can choose the movie. It can even be a chick flick if you want." A small smile crossed his lips as she turned around to look at him.

"I'd love to. But only if we watch a horror movie." She said as a shocked look swept across his face. "And you of course don't mind making sure no horrible monsters can get to me." Her smirk growing as a knowing look came into his eyes.

"Don't you worry. I'll look after you." Mac said quietly leaning down to brush his lips to hers.
