Callie made her way to her room eager to take Erica out. The small conflict with Mark only proved to her how much she wanted Erica to be her number one priority in life. The brunette wanted something to remind them of their reunion, something she could look at everyday. As she rummaged through her closet she debated internally what mall they should go to. Erica was making her way back to the room, rather shocked that Callie had brushed off the hostile encounter so quickly.

"Are you okay?" Erica asked timidly. Callie pulled her head out of her shirts and smiled warmly at Erica.

"Of course. It's just Mark. He'll be over it by tomorrow…Are you okay?" Callie hoped Mark hadn't ruined their day.

"Yeah, I don't care," a moment passed. Erica looked around the room and said, "Uhm Cal, I don't have any clothes here."

Callie paused, she hadn't thought about that. "Hmm. You can borrow something." Erica furrowed her eyebrows. Callie turned to her closet and smiled devilishly to herself. She tossed Erica a simple pair of jeans and a blouse and told her to go try it on. While Erica busied herself changing, Callie picked out an outfit that she knew would look good standing next to Erica's. She fussed with her deep purple top as she sat on the bed waiting for Erica to finish. She looked up and was struck by a wave of gratitude. Her life had completely turned around within a single night. She told Erica Hahn that she loved her and Erica said it back! She couldn't believe her life.

Just then Erica opened the door and finished brushing the ends of her hair. Callie took her time looking at what she was wearing from head to toe. She had purposely grabbed the tightest jeans she owned, which fit Erica like a glove. The dark blue boot cut jeans were cut off by the sapphire, satin v-neck blouse. The deep plunge of her top made Callie's heart pitter-patter; she grinned. Erica turned and fixed her hair quickly, she didn't see Callie staring at her. Callie got up and wrapped her arms around her love's waist. She stood three inches taller than Erica because she had already stepped into her boots. She looked into their reflection and appreciated the universe's handy work. Erica leaned into the touch and placed her hands on top of Callie's. Erica gazed at the same reflection and sent a small thanks up to the cosmos, for whoever was watching over them. They both smiled grand smiles.

"Good lord." Erica's eyes were trying to take in their surroundings. Callie snickered.

"It's new, apparently the old mall wasn't up to Seattle's standards." Erica nodded at Callie's explanation. Callie waited for Erica to start walking again…it wasn't happening. Callie took Erica's hand and led her down the corridor lined with designer stores which were filled with overpriced items. Erica regained her motor functions and chatted with Callie as they window shopped. They walked contently until Callie saw the store she had decided to visit on the drive over. Erica followed Callie's lead, but missed the stores moniker. The store was brightly lit and painted completely white. Erica found the appearance to be a bit much but she followed Callie despite the fact.

The girls were stopped by a young woman. "Hello ladies. Welcome to Tiffany's. Can I help you find something?" Callie chatted with the woman, Erica only heard the word Tiffany's. She leaned over and whispered in Callie's ear "What're we doing here?" Callie turned to Erica and smirked at her curiosity. "I want to get something to remind us of last night. Something you can look at everyday and be proud of." Erica tilted her head, Callie was a hopeless romantic. The woman backed away and let the girls have a moment.

"Come on, lets look around." Callie urged Erica on, again in front of her, instinctively. Erica shuffled around looking from piece to piece. Callie followed close behind her, never letting her out of her sight. Neither of them found anything special until the young woman approached them again.

"Maybe I can show you something else?" she offered.

Erica shook her head slowly, "No thank you, that usually means an incredibly expensive 'something else'."

The girl was about to respond when Callie interjected. "Price isn't an issue." Erica gave Callie a quizzical look. Erica had money, she considered herself well-off; she hadn't spent much money ever since she became an attending. The money she had made over the years merely collected in her bank account. But she knew that money had to be some kind of an issue at a store like this. The girl led the two into another room in the back, it was dimly lit with a medium sized case full of jewelry. The woman pulled out a necklace box from underneath the case, she opened it and showed it to Callie. Callie's eyes twinkled, "It's perfect." She took the box and showed it to Erica. The blonde's breath left her. Laying in the blue box was a pink diamond, heart key pendant. The diamonds were set in platinum, the chain was made up of small interlinking infinity symbols. Erica shook her head slowly again, this time in disbelief.

"It's gorgeous Callie." A satisfied smile worked it's way onto Callie's face.

"Good." Callie turned to the woman and said, "Can I get it engraved?" The woman nodded and had Callie write down what she wanted the engraving to say. Callie quickly scribbled down what she wanted and returned her eyes to a still flabbergasted Erica.

"Erica?" Callie waited for a response. Erica had never been a girl that obsessed over jewelry, but that necklace was the most beautiful piece of jewelry she had ever seen. Suddenly, the thought of cost crossed her mind.

"How much is it?"

"Don't worry about it." Erica was about to protest when she felt an idea coming on. She kissed Callie's forehead and walked back into the front showroom. Callie stood silently not knowing what came over the blonde. She shook her head; that girl was one of a kind.

Twenty minutes had passed when the young woman returned with Erica's present in hand. It was wrapped in a violet bow. "Is this all? Would you like to pay in front?"

"Yes please." Callie answered politely. The woman had Callie follow her to the register where they found Erica waiting for them, she had a long, thin box in her hands. The box had an identical violet bow. Erica had a brilliant smile on, she had gotten Callie a present in half the time that it took Callie to get Erica's.

"What's this?" Callie asked in jest, she handed her credit card to the woman.

Erica shrugged. "Something I hope you can look at each day and be proud of."

Callie enveloped Erica in a fierce hug. "How did you get it so quickly?" She asked into Erica's neck. Erica chuckled and pulled Callie away from her so that she could see her eyes.

"I'm very efficient." Erica winked.

The woman silently handed the card back to Callie and the pair made their way out of the store. As they meandered through the crowd people stared at the happy couple. However, Callie and Erica didn't notice a thing. Once at Callie's car Erica brought the brunette over to her side. She held the thin box up to Callie's chest and handed it to her. Callie opened it to find an identical heart key pendant, but this one was made of round pear shaped diamonds. It twinkled in the sunlight. Erica picked it up and stepped behind Callie to put it on her. The heart key laid just between her cleavage.

Erica stepped back around her and flipped over the pendant to show Callie what it said.

"You Are My Glasses"

Callie's eyes welled. She quickly pulled out Erica's necklace and turned it over to reveal the inscription.

"You Are My Leaves"

Erica turned and had Callie fix the clasp. She turned back around and took Callie's face in her hands, she kissed her. A slow kiss filled with passion, promise, and unabashed love. Both women floated back down to Earth and separated. They hadn't kissed in years. With both hearts overflowing with giddiness they managed to get back into the car and drive back to Callie's apartment.

Holding hands, they walked down the hallway to find a note on the door.

Erica-

Can we talk when I get off tonight? Just you and I.

-Mark

Callie handed Erica the note and expected a large sigh of disgust. Erica read the note and slipped it into her pocket. No upset, no fury. Callie shrugged it off. They walked into the living room and took off their jackets. Callie and Erica made themselves comfortable on the couch. Callie laid in between Erica's legs with her back to Erica's front. Both, without thinking, played with their necklaces. Within minutes they had both fallen asleep. A beautiful haze filled the apartment.

They slept soundly for nearly three hours, until a confident knock interrupted their dreams. It was dark already. Erica was visibly startled while Callie found the interference annoying. She got up and made her way to the door, mumbling something about Mark having a key.

"Ugh, Mark you have keys." Callie opened the door roughly.

It wasn't Mark.
