"I believe in you."
Emily lifted her left hand over her face as she lay in the hotel bed, marveling at the engagement ring on it. She hadn't been expecting one, but JJ had been excited about the idea of picking one out and far be it from her to deny JJ anything within reason (and some things without as well). The band was made of white gold with interesting filigree framing the single sapphire in the center. It was simple, a bit understated unless you were really looking at it, and Emily loved it.
She'd only had the ring for a few days and wasn't quite used to feeling it around her finger but truthfully, she kind of liked that. Every time she was tempted to fiddle with it, she was reminded of her fiancée. Her phones text alert chimed in the darkness of the room and Emily rolled onto her side facing the nightstand so she could get it. She smiled at JJ's name displayed over the text.
'I can't sleep :( wish you were here.' It read.
Emily huffed out a silent laugh as she composed a response: 'I'm only across the hall.' They'd been on this case in Billings, Montana for nearly a week.
'Yes but you're not HERE and thus my problem. Can't we screw the rules just for one night?'
'I have a feeling it's not the rules you want to screw…'
'Me? No! I can't help it if YOUR mind is in the gutter ;)'
'We have to be back at the station in seven hours'
'That's all kinds of time! Think I can get back to my room in six and a half hours?'
'I believe in you'
'Be right there'
