"Earth to Holly" Justin chanted.

Holly snapped back to reality "Go ahead and prioritize cadaver 20349 as urgent and make sure you look under her fingernails for any DNA" with that Justin left to complete his task.

Justin was one of the eight new training pathologist right out of college and eager to learn. Holly was grateful for the assistance, she has been spread thin by all of the traveling caused by her new book, scheduled university lectures, and expert witness assignments. Work, work, work. This has been her all-encompassing purpose until recently.

Holly is not one to get attached to someone. One may describe her as extremely intelligent, independent, intriguing, and peculiar. She passionately enjoys her job but lately she has noticed that her personal life is lacking. Holly has her steady stream of women that she can call on when she wants a quick release with no attachments. This has worked for her in the past but lately she has been wanting more.

After a long national tour of lecturing at various prestigious universities, discussing numerous advances in forensic science and technology, Holly was ready to put down some roots. She started her new position in the forensic lab as head of pathology. Sure it wasn't as glamorous and notable as she was use to but she wanted to do more than teach, she wanted to act- to use her knowledge and help convict criminals.

Holly wasn't prepared for her world to be turned upside down- she didn't plan on her eyes falling upon the enigmatic Gail Peck. One glance at the blonde beauty and she was smitten. Unblemished, elegant, porcelain skin- piercing, exquisite light blue eyes. She knew Gail was straight however she couldn't help but want to know her more- want to be in her presence.

Any chance to spend with the beautiful blonde, she would take. Plus one at a wedding, spontaneous late night cathartic batting cages, stress relieving firearm shooting, Holly didn't care- she just wanted to be around Gail.

Holly prides herself in being patient but the last few days, after their most recent arranged meeting- followed by the most sensuous and stirring kiss of her life- her patience was wearing. She use to always leave the ball in Gail's court but she couldn't take it- she wanted more. She would glance at Gail and just want to devour her.

Three days have passed since Gail left her high-end condominium, in an unexplainable rush, and Holly was a wreck. She had these overwhelming feelings for a straight woman and she had no idea what the future held. The ball was definitely not in her court. The ball was currently in the hands of one beautiful blonde.

In an effort to distract herself, Holly immersed herself in her work. She was presently scrutinizing fingerprints from a crime scene when she suddenly felt like she was being watched. She looked up and saw Gail Peck in a daze and starring at her. Once she saw Gail she felt giddy, she saw the police woman in all her glory, with her uniform, badge, bullet proof vest, utility belt, and all she wanted to do was take Gail right then and there.

8pm was 15 minutes away and Holly could not wait. The anticipation was killing her, she decided to tell Gail her feelings, expectations, and truly open up her heart.
