Letters to Lisbon

by Malley

Excerpts from Lisbon's box of letters from Jane. Minor spoilers for My Blue Heaven (I reference some of the characters). Mostly cute Jisbon fluff. If you don't know why Lisbon has this box of letters and wish to remain spoiler free, then I would suggest watching My Blue Heaven first before reading :) UPDATED: New Chapter (the first of 2014!)

4. Chapter 4

Disclaimer: I do not own The Mentalist or any of its characters. I own a couple of Mentalist t-shirts, but that's about it.

Letters to Lisbon
Chapter 4

Dear Lisbon,

Happy anniversary, Lisbon! Today marks our anniversary of the day we began working together. It was the day that my life began to change for the better and it was the day that you began to question your sanity.

I wish I was with you today, or that you were with me. We could spend the day together doing something other than playing around with criminals and dead bodies. If you were here, we could spend the day at the beach in the warm summer sand, watching the dolphins play in the blue waves of the crystal clear ocean. We could get a nice dinner together at Alfredo's place and then head out to the square for a night of dancing. I know it's not an anniversary in the traditional sense, but it works for the two of us.

On the subject of dancing, I want to apologize for the time I started a brawl at the high school reunion. Sure, it seemed like a good idea at the time, but it sort of got out of hand. Then again, we did catch the killer, so it all worked out in the end.

Besides the fight night, the one thing that I remember from the high school reunion was our slow dance. You are quite a good dancer, Lisbon. It was so nice to just put everything aside for a little while and just enjoy the moment of being close with someone so important to me. When I come back to you some day, I hope you'll honor me with another dance.

Miss you,

Jane

Happy FanFiction anniversary to me! This is the day that I published my first story years ago, so it's kind of special. I figured Jane and Lisbon should celebrate too :)

On a side note, did anyone know that there is a Mentalist calendar? My sister was going to buy it for me for Christmas, but I already picked out a calendar for 2014...*cries*...Note to self: buy calendar of Jane for 2015...
