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!

She didn't come in the next morning.
Eric watched the clock like it had challenged him to a staring match. Waiting was something he was accustomed to, but this was ridiculous.
After Deeks had come down and reassured everyone that yes, Nell knew what she was doing and yes, her expectations were normal, Eric couldn't shake the feeling that he was being left out of something.
He was happy for Nell, he really was. But jealousy was a hard bug to squash. Especially when he didn't know the guy who'd managed to charm his partner into a first date without even trading a name or phone number.
Just a series of damn flowers and sappy sentiments, and she was willing to meet him on a blind date.
Eric rubbed the bridge of his nose, feeling a headache as he finally looked away from the clock. It was nearing noon, and if Nell wasn't in by now, she wouldn't be in at all. I hope she at least liked her date, he thought, pushing his glasses up and getting back to work.
He glanced at the wine-red carnation flower he'd put in her vase earlier and thought for the thousandth time, Damn, I hope she likes it.
Sweet Eric, waiting for Nell to return...and she plays hookey. Bad girl.
Review please!
