Hello everyone! I want to explain the last chapter a bit: my head could not figure out the exact conversation, so if it felt like the characters were not totally acting like they should, it was probably because they really were not. Sorry, but I promise that future chapters will be better. Anyway, on with the show! ENJOY!

Teresa glared straight ahead, not really seeing anything in her office. She was alone, and fuming.

What an idiot she was! Oh yes Jane, I'll come and spend a romantic weekend with you, and perhaps make our working relationship even more awkward. What possessed her to agree? It must have been the hangover, her mind was still muddled and so she willingly agreed to Jane's proposition. And now she was stuck with it! Sure, she could tell him she had changed her mind, but he had been M.I.A. all day since there were no cases to work on, and she could not get a hold of him on his cell. But, no problem, she reassured herself, she would just go to his apartment with the annulment papers and demand he sign them, no weekend together or anything. Yes, that was exactly what she would do.

Once she got off work, she went to her apartment to pack. Not because of going to Jane's, but she thought maybe she would go and spend the weekend in a motel by the beach, just for the fun of it. Maybe go to a bar or two, check out a club, just relax and have a good time. Of course, she normally didn't do that sort of thing, but she also didn't normally marry Patrick Jane, so she figured she could be a little wild tonight.

When she arrived at Jane's, she grabbed her purse and was about to open her door when she screamed.

Patrick Jane grinned at her, opening her door for her. "You know, Lisbon, if you keep screaming like that my neighbors are going to wonder what kind of twisted things I am in to."

Teresa glared at him and got out. "Shut up, you startled me, that's all."

Patrick just grinned and opened her back door, grabbing her suitcase before she could say anything. He motioned her to follow him. "Come on, I have dinner on the table."

Teresa tried to tell him to bring her suitcase back, but nothing came out. She sighed and locked her car, following him. She was not off to a great start.

By the time they got to his door, she had re-resolved to go in and tell him to sign the papers, then get out. No small talk, just straight and to the point. She did not want to listen to anymore of his 'propositions.'

However, all that resolve proceeded to go out the window when she walked into his apartment and gasped.

The dining room table was set for a fancy meal, the best china and silverware arranged, and fresh, delicious looking food making her mouth water just looking at it. Candles adorned all the middle of the table and she smelled the fresh scent of roses wafting from a small bouquet that Jane suddenly produced in his hand.

She stared at the flowers, not sure what to say. Jane handed them to her, saying, "I thought that you might like some flowers to begin the evening off. I like that dress, the color goes perfect with your skin tone."

Teresa looked down at her dress, blushing slightly. It was a basic blue dress, not to revealing or tight, and she had worn it in preparation to go to a club, not a fancy dinner. Now, after seeing the food on the table, club food did not sound that appealing to her. Perhaps just staying for dinner wouldn't hurt, especially since it looked like Jane had put a lot of work into it.

Jane led her to the table, pulling a chair out for her, and sitting down across from her when she was seated. "I hope you like Italian. I thought I would try my culinary skills out."

Teresa smiled at him. "Looks delicious, you must have a multitude of hidden talents up your sleeve."

He merely grinned and they both began eating.

They passed the first part of the dinner in silence, then Jane brought out some chocolate cheesecake(the way into any woman's heart) and they began talking. Not about anything serious, mostly just fun random things. But they began to become more at ease, laughing and talking, and any tension that had surrounded them at the beginning of the meal was fading away and time passed quickly.

Teresa stared at her glass. "Water, find choice for a meal."

Jane laughed. "Well, since our previous experiences with wine were a bit odd, I thought we might try water this time around."

Teresa finished her glass and they were silent.

Jane cleared his throat. "So, it's about nine, what do you want to do?"

Teresa raised an eyebrow. "I thought you would have the whole weekend planned and full of romantic activities."

Jane shrugged. "Well, maybe. But I thought you might have a suggestion for the first evening."

Teresa stared at her empty glass, her mind flipping things over and figuring out what she wanted to say. Finally, she said, "I guess we could just go to bed."

They were both stunned at that idea, Teresa more so. Maybe her water was drugged? No, she had said that with a clear mind, and she would not back down from it.

Jane cleared his throat, "Are you sure about that?"

Teresa looked at him. "Yes. This is supposed to be a 'romantic' weekend, so let's get the most important and awkward part out of the way. Any objections?"

Jane shook his head. They both stood up and watched each other, before Jane walked closer and took her hands in his. They just stared until Jane smiled slightly. "Perhaps a little wine would have made this part a little smoother."

Teresa laughed a little. "Yeah, probably would have helped."

They stood in silence until Jane stooped down, a few inches from her mouth, and whispered, "Are you sure?"

Teresa nodded, and they kissed. A few long kisses was all they needed to relax and started moving towards Jane's bedroom, both eager to see what a non-drunk night together would be like.
