Emily's pov:
I woke up that morning to the annoying ring of my alarm clock. I quickly shut it off before it woke JJ.  I brushed a few pieces of her hair out of her face and kissed her forehead. "Hey baby it's time to wake up." I whispered.

She stirred slowly before finally sitting up. "Good morning." I smile kissing her cheek. "Good morning." She replies rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

"You know you don't have to go to work today. You could take a sick day, you know process everything." I say.

"No. I want to go to work today. I need to. I need the distraction. Something different to focus on." She murmurs. "Okay. I'm going to go get ready and then start some coffee." I say getting out of bed.

I go into the bathroom and brush my teeth and wash my face. I brush my hair and then straighten it with my flat iron. I apply some light makeup. A bit of concealer, some mascara and eyeshadow, and some lipstick. Then I put on a pair of jeans and low v neck blue sweater. As I'm putting on the sweater a catch a glimpse of the tattoo on my hip in the mirror.

*flashback to before Emily leaves for Paris*
"It's going to be okay." I said as I held JJ in my arms. We were sitting in her apartment on the couch. "I don't want to lose you." She cried. "Sweetie you're not losing me. We'll catch this son of a bitch and then I'll come home. I'll never really be gone." I said kissing the top of her head. "And I'll never forget you."

JJ looked up at me with her tear stained face. "I want to get a tattoo." She stated. "What? Why?" I laughed slightly.

She got up and pulled something out of the end table drawer. It was a drawing. It was from day of the Tobias Hankle case. That was the day that I knew that I was in love with JJ.

I was working at my desk drawing a butterfly. It was pretty realistic but I had only gotten half of it done when I was called away to work on something else. JJ had come over and sat at me desk. She picked up my pencil and finished the butterfly. But the half that she drew was filled with flowers. It was really beautiful.

"This was from the day that I knew I loved you." She said closing her eyes. And I want to remember it for the rest of my life. So I want to get it tattooed."

"Really?" I asked her. "Yes really." She said. "Okay then I'll get it with you. We'll have matching ones so whenever I look at it I'll know that you're there." I said.

That same day we took the drawing down to a tattoo parlour and got it tattooed on our hips. When I was in Paris I would look at it and remember that day.
