-From Last Time-

"Poor Eric Delko. If he isn't careful he will go to bed even more frustrated than he is now…"

Eric and Calleigh's cell phones chose that moment to alert them to a double homicide out in Everglades. They both looked at each other and locked eyes.

"Let's grab out kits and head out. It won't look good if we are late." Calleigh commented.

-On With The Story-

Ten exhausting hours later Calleigh and Eric were back at the lab and preparing to head home for the day. On her way down the steps Eric caught up with Calleigh.

"Cal, come over for dinner tonight. Please?" Eric asked Calleigh hopefully.

"Well, since you asked so nicely…"

"Love you too."

"I know." Calleigh seemed to have that one ready and waiting. "I'll meet you at your place in an hour? I want to go home and shower. Eau de Decomp is not my favorite scent."

"I feel the same way. I'll see you in a little while. Sevenish?"

"Sounds good."

Eric and Calleigh climbed into their respective vehicles, with Calleigh returning home quickly to Bal Harbour to take a quick shower and change before heading over to Little Havana to meet Eric.

Fifty-five minutes later she arrived at Eric's, looking and smelling considerably better in white pants and a draped neck, vibrant pink tank. When she knocked on the door Eric answered promptly.

"Hey Eric."

"Hey, come on in. Can I get you something to drink?" Eric offered, after years of working with Calleigh her Southern Hospitality had begun to rub off on him.

"Tea?"

"Of course."

"Do you have lemon?" Calleigh queried.

"Let me check." Eric quickly checked his refrigerator. "I do."

"Great. Can I have some lemon with my tea?"

"Sure."

Eric brought Calleigh her tea and sat down on the sofa close, but not at a smothering distance.

"I made flan." Eric commented.

Dios espero que esto trabaje.

"Really? Can we have dessert now? Before dinner? Please?" Calleigh pleaded

"Sure Cal, we can have dessert first."

Okay, this might just work.

"Let me go grab it from the fridge."

Eric came back carrying two individual sized portions of flan, but didn't put either down right away.

"Calleigh, this isn't how I planned to do this originally. Remember dinner the other night? That was when this was supposed to happen. It was supposed to be romantic; candles and roses and fancy food. But I hope this works too, because I love you and I have to ask you while I have the nerve or I may never get the words out. Calleigh, I'd love it if you'd marry me. Will you marry me Calleigh?"

"Eric Delko, this is better than roses and candles because this is us. Yes, of course I'll marry you, but you'd better kiss me."

Eric and Calleigh met in a kiss that sealed their fate, and they knew it as soon as it happened, that this engagement was going to turn into the forever kind of marriage.
