Lindsay poured herself some coffee.
After being away from New York, she realised coming back that being here felt as much as being at home as it did being back in Bozeman.
"Hey did you have a nice Christmas?" Stella asked walking and pouring herself some coffee.
"It's great; it was great to see my family again."
"How did Danny find it?"
"My nieces and nephews love him. He made snowmen with them and watched movies. My niece Grace has a crush on him." Lindsay smiled.
"Lindsay." Stella noticed the ring; she walked over and looked at Lindsay's hand. "Danny proposed?"
"Yes."
"That's not amethyst is it?"
"Tanzanite apparently you could only get it from Tanzania and there are only a few more years worth left." Lindsay explained. "But Danny could tell you more."
Stella noticed the matching 18 carat white gold band next to the engagement ring.
"You got married?" Stella stated.
"Yes." Lindsay confirmed.
Stella automatically hugged.
"Tell me everything."
CSI NY CSI NY
"So what is Montana like?" Flack asked.
"Too damn quiet." Danny replied. "But being able to see nothing but fields and mountains and the odd blip of a house in the distance is nice."
"Lindsay did tell you that the fresh air would be good for you." Flack pointed out.
"In all honesty I didn't think families spent their Christmases like that. But it's was nice."
"You didn't get a black eye so I'm guessing her family liked you."
"Her nieces and nephews are great kids. Her brother Adam is a good guy too."
"Danny." Stella called as she spotted Danny.
"Hey Stel get anything nice for Christmas?" Danny inquired.
"Congratulations." She gave him a hug.
"Thanks." Danny replied.
"Did I miss something?" Flack inquired.
"The reason you're a homicide detective not a CSI." Stella lifted up Danny's left hand so Flack could see the wedding band that now adorned it.
"You got married?" Flack questioned.
"Yeah." Danny replied.
"When?"
"Yesterday." Danny replied.
"You weren't even engaged the last time I saw you." Flack stated.
"If it helps we were only engaged about twenty hours." Danny offered as a consolation.
"How long have we been friends you couldn't have at least called?" Flack inquired.
"We didn't exactly call anyone. We drove and saw the county corner and medical examiner since Lindsay knew them for the blood test she needed to so we could get a licence. We saw a couple people at the county clerks' office she knows to get a licence, we talk to the minister at the church she grew up in who could marry us yesterday morning. Then we went and told her family if they didn't have anything better to do we were getting married."
"Did she at least get a dress?" Flack asked.
"She wore her Mom's dress." Danny replied.
"Do you at have pictures?"
"We have a whole memory card full of them and video back at the apartment, but we didn't get back home until 2 am after there were delays due to the weather. We'll bring them in tomorrow."
"Danny my office." Mac stood at the other end of the hall.
"I guess he got the change of marital status paperwork I left on his desk. I'll see you guys later." Danny left.
Hawkes walked up.
"What did I miss?" He inquired.
"Lindsay and Danny managed to get engaged and married over Christmas. What did you do?" Flack asked.
"What?"
"That's what I said."
