I remember the first day we met. I thought you were beautiful and exotic looking. But you had an accent that said that you were a New York girl through and through. Mac left you with me. I was nervous, petrified. It took a while for me to realize that I wasn't going to say something stupid before I began to relax around you. You were intelligent from the get go, although you seem to have no idea just how smart you really are.
You and I have always fit together well. We're partners. Sometimes I forget that that is a title we have given ourselves and that we are not really partners. CSI don't have partners. And I miss you when we're assigned to different cases. And sometimes when we are assigned to the same case I still miss you. Because although you are my best friend and I cherish that relationship more that you can imagine I still want more. I am in love with you Aiden Burns. And it hurts to know you will never love me back. That I'll always be just your friend and nothing more. That I'll be there by your side watching as you have a happy life without me in it. And I do want you to be happy Aiden, more than anything. But I still love you, and I always will.
