NOTES: More of their cuteness and again ending with his sad.
He had met her at the Christmas party but since then he couldn't bring himself to speak to her. She was beautiful and bubbly and there were laugh-lines around her eyes.
She intimidated the hell out of him.
He was new in homicide, a brand new officer, and she had been the first person to really speak to him at the station house. Her name was Sarah and he caught himself thinking about her when he should have been doing paperwork. Which was better than when he caught himself looking at her.
It was worse when she caught him looking at her.
She made her way over to his desk and Victor was fairly sure his heart was abandoning ship by pounding out of his chest. "Hello Brannigan, Victor!" Sarah said brightly, and Victor nearly swallowed his tongue.
"H-hi, uh-" Oh god, what was her name? He knew it. He thought it all the time. What was her name?!
"Sarah," she said easily, obviously not put off by his awkwardness at all. "And it might help you to stop staring if you just asked me out."
"I-"
"Would you like to go out for dinner this weekend?"
"Uh, sure-"
"Great!" She laughed and put a finger under his chin, "It's okay, Victor. Everyone's nervous around people they have crushes on."
Victor finally seemed to gain control of his voice box and he said, "you don't seem nervous."
"I am a fantastic actress," she said with a wink, and she left him to wonder what exactly had just happened.
