I arrive at our offices and Mrs. West is early.
So sorry for coming early.  It's okay Mrs.West. Would you like a beverage,  coffee. Coffee black please.
I ask my secretary to bring in two coffees one black.
Mrs.  West hands me a video that is dated and time stamped from the hotel James was staying at. I thanked her for the additional information. Avery returns and we go over everything. This is one of the easiest shut case.
We leave to the court house for his bail hearing. I ask to speak to the judge and the district attorney in chambers.
Your honor. We have more than enough hard evidence that proves James West was set up and wasn't in the country.  If we go to trial, the district attorney will be wasting everyone's time and monies.  Rizzoli show me what you and Rizzoli have come up with. I will decide. I handed over a copy of everything except the DVD. The judge is the one who has it and is reviewing it. Cheryl I agree. This man is innocent. It seems you have two people who lied and  maybe your killers. Cheryl don't worry we won't be taking their cases.
We left the judge's chambers.  Mr. West you will be processed to be released from downstairs.  Thank you your honor.  Case is dismissed.

Avery I am going to take the rest of this week and next week off.  I won't be available by cell. I need a break. A real one. Okay. Auntie enjoy. Please take the files back to the office.
I leave and call Maur. 
Dr. Isles.  Yes Dr. Isles I am leaving the court house and heading home. I am taking the rest of this week and next week off and won't have my cell on. Hmmm. I  like that thought. Let me finish up with my emails and I will be home soon to join you   Sounds perfect.

Jane I was hoping to catch you before you left the court house.  I was hoping we could get lunch and make plans for a weekend getaway.  Parker I loved spending time with you but. No need to finish it. I am truly sorry.  Me too .

Parker left and I went to my vehicle and headed to the grocery store to buy groceries for two weeks.  I didn't want to have Maur and I to be distracted nor disturbed by anyone. I drove home.

I finally had everything put away and got our of my work clothes and taking a shower

I finally had everything put away and got our of my work clothes and taking a shower. 
Hmmm you look good. Maur your home.  Yes.
Maur slips out of her shoes and removes her clothes stripping for me. My blood pressure is rising. Maur knows how to do this well.
Jane you okay? Yes just a little
ot and blood pressure rising.  Oh no,I didn't mean for that to happen. .
Maur leaves and brings her medical bag and takes out her stethoscope and blood pressure cup.
Jane turn off the water and sit right here.
I do what she asks.  Maur takes my vitals .
Jane let's just CUDDLE IN BED FOR NOW. 
Jane nods.I want to laugh but don't.  I have never seen Jane with her pressure High from looking at me. Jane gets into her bed. I join her and lay between her legs with my head on her chest. We talk for awhile . I recheck her vitals.

Jane your all good now. Maur just thinking of you and your dancing for me and me telling Parker today that I am no longer interested in her just was too much. When did you see her? She came by the court house after we spoke.  She wanted to take me to lunch  and make plans for this weekend for a getaway.  I see.  Maur look at me. I am being honest.  Full disclosure here. I want time with you only and see if anything will develops. I hope you being here means the same. Yes it does.  Thank you counselor for full disclosure. You are very welcome doc. We got up to eat a late lunch. I made gyros with fries with my air fryer with ice tea.
Jane and I heard our doorbell ring but ignored it. We want this time just for us. I see through the video cam it's flowers. I get up to get it.
I bring it inside and  lock the door and turn the alarm back on.
Who got you flowers Jane? I am not sure. .I open it and read the card.
I hand Maur the card.
Jane I wish you would give me another chance. I will be here when your ready  ♡ Parker.
I toss the flowers into the garbage.
Maur gets them out and puts them in  vase with water and a aspirin.
Jane she still likes you. I know Maur,but I don't want to mess up what we are starting. I took time off to relax which is indeed needed. I even told my family that I would be out of the country. Why did you do that? Maur that way my mother won't be ringing the door bell or calling me. Jane do you like Parker? Yes. Jane thank you for your honesty. Please don't waste these beautiful flowers. These flowers are expensive.  A little cliche but expensive. She obviously has alot to learn about you. You would rather have a pizza and beer than flowers. See you get me.  Jane I only get you because we have been friends for years and have talked so much what we like or dislike even about sex. I know. Jane if you want to see her. I won't be mad jealous yes but not mad. Maur you know I don't like stringing someone along but thank you.  I will keep the flowers.

They are beautiful though.
Jane smelled them and sneezes. 
I will put them in the dining room. Thank you.
Jane likes nice things but she cannot handle the aroma of flowers without sneezing. Maur I noticed you got rid of your Mercedes and have a different one. Yes, it was back ordered. I had my personal plates as you know from my BMW.  I just has the plates transfered this afternoon to this Mercedes they dropped off at my job. I didn't realize you were using a loaner with your license plate on it. I has to put these on it. The sheriff parking lot scans the plates now along with our identification. Ah ok.  Let's go back to bed.  Your bed or mine. Mine since we made love in yours already.  Okay  but please get your strap on. Okay will meet you in your bed.
