After several cases Mac Taylor was always taking me on cases with him. It was only on occasion when I was actually with my own team. Occasionally Mac would ask me more and more about the case I was in and it was harder for me to tell him but after many attempts I was able to talk about the case with ease. While I was working on a case Mac walked in on me and he gave me a smile.

"Listen I was wondering if you wanted to have dinner with me"

I looked at Mac and when he was looking at me I saw the nervousness in his eyes. Usually they were filled with a serious kind of nature and other times he had a hurt look on his face. It was rare for me to see him look nervous and when I smiled and nodded at him his whole face lite up with relief. I continued on my case and after several hours and many arrests and interrogations I finally solved my case. When I arrived at Mac's place I smiled when he answered the door. The aroma of spices and I could even hear some simple music when I walked in I saw just a simple t-shirt and a pair of jeans on him. I smiled as I saw his world for the first time. While I was trying to help him Mac was showing me what to do and I was soon finished his food dish. While I was plating the food I set the pan down and that was when I burnt my finger. When I held my finger in my mouth I looked at Mac and he was quickly beside me. When he held my hand he pulled my finger from my mouth and he looked at my burn. He then looked into my eyes and when he placed my finger in his mouth I looked at him and the pain immediately disappeared. When he finished we quickly sat down to eat. After the meal we had a couple glasses of wine and I was cuddling up next to Mac. It was strange to be so close to someone again and yet my mind would race to Emily. The smashing of the glass and the yelling from the man who killed her. Everything was racing through my mind and when Mac realized what was going on he held onto me.

"Talk to me Sarah, is it your case?"

"It's the images, the screams from Emily. They are playing over and over in my head"

"Sarah you are safe with me I promise"

When I looked at him that was when he gave me gentle kiss on the forehead and he held onto me just a little tighter then before. When I realized I fell asleep and I woke up in Mac's embrace. He was drinking some coffee and reading a news paper. I smiled when I saw him and he actually kissed the top of my head again.

"Good morning" he said softly.

"Morning"

When I moved I looked at Mac and he just watched as I gathered my things and I got ready to leave. When I was finished combing my hair Mac walked over to me and I looked at him through the mirror.

"No matter how much you play with your hair you will always look beautiful"

I just smiled and turned around and when I was about to kiss him my phone went off and so did his. I just chuckled as I saw the text message about a case we had and he had several text messages about three others.

"Well looks like we got ourselves a busy day today"

he just smiled at me and when we left the apartment I never knew that our lives were going to change very drastically.
