Once outside, Jane and Maura relaxed and slowed down. Standing on the sidewalk in front of Jane's car, Maura placed her hands on her girlfriend's hips. "You look beautiful, Jane." She said the words a bit nervously, not sure how they would be received, but to her immense surprise, Jane blushed.

Deciding to test her luck (and potentially figure out where they would be eating) Maura continued, "I can't imagine a restaurant so nice that you would feel compelled to look as stunning as you do."

Jane considered Maura for a moment before shaking her head and letting a knowing smile spread across her face. "I didn't dress for the restaurant, Maura," she leaned in so that her lips barely touched the shell of Maura's ear, "I dressed for you."

And now it was Maura's turn to blush.

"Jane, where are we going?" Jane had just turned the car onto a particularly seedy street in Boston and Maura sounded concerned.

"You'll see, Maur, you'll see," Jane grinned, "Gosh, I never expected you to be so impatient."

Maura rolled her eyes, but rose to the bait anyways, "I'm not impatient, Jane, I just prefer to know where I'm going before I get there. I'd argue that that's a fairly human impulse."

"Well now if I didn't know better, I'd've said you were a cyborg," Jane teased as she pulled the car into a parking space along the side of the street. "We're here, so you can stop your whining, okay?"

Maura glanced around, confused. "This isn't a restaurant, it's an apartment building," she said flatly.

"I know." Jane got out of the car and went around to open the passenger side door. She held her hand out to her girlfriend, "Just trust me."

Maura smiled a silly, smitten smile. "I always trust you."

They walked hand in hand to the front door of the building, stopping so that Jane could ring the bell. Maura inhaled suddenly. "I've been here before."

Jane beamed at her, "I know."

"This was one of the first cases I worked as Chief Medical Examiner. Abigail Lawson, 23, just graduated from BCU. She got caught up in a drug trafficking operation."

"I know."

"I think…" Maura's voice lowered. "It was one of the first cases we worked together."

"No."

"No?"

"It was the very first case we worked together."

A/N: A short chapter, I know. And kind of a cliff hanger, now that I think about it. Sorry? Your reviews, follows, and favorites are so appreciated! Keep it up :)
