I drop my head on the pillow and feel Nick's forehead lean on my shoulder as we try to catch our breath. A few days ago I decided that I should finish with this thing we have, and today when I was about to do it, well, I couldn't.

Nick raises his head a little and when our eyes meet, he smiles and approaches me, he pulls his lips on mine and I accept them immediately.

"You wanted to tell me something," Nick says, separating himself a bit from me and that's when I realize that it doesn't matter if it's the only way I can have him.

"It must have been something insignificant" I lie with a grimace "Because I don't remember"

Nick smiles and kisses my lips again, then he get off of the top of me and lie next to me, but then I think about him and Maria. So I arm myself with courage and turn to him.

"What happens?" He asks when he realizes that I'm looking at him.

"I know we're not dating..." I start to say and he nods "But I saw you with Maria the other day and I just want to be sure I'm not interfering with anything"

"You're not doing it," he tells me, denying and turning his body towards me. "Maria and I are not together nor are we trying to get back, so i'm not cheating on her or on you, or something like that."

"Well" I say nodding and going back to bed in the position that I was "The day you meet someone, just tell me and everything will be fine"

"Same" he responds giving a nod.

I keep looking at the ceiling immersed in my thoughts, my head is completely full of different things and they all come to me at the same time, having Nick by my side only makes it worse so I sit in the mattress and I take the robe to cover my body.

"Where are you going?" Nick asks me, sitting up a bit.

"I'll have a beer, I'm not tired at all,"

"Me neither" he says with a childish smile and raising one of his eyebrows "I'm up for another round"

I laugh a bit but I don't go back to bed.

"Let's see if you're lucky enough for that" I answer, standing up, leaving the room and hearing Nick's laugh in my way to the kitchen.

The days go by and when I least think about it, we are about to enter into December, the office has been wrapped in a very Christmasy atmosphere since we had begun to decorate. The holiday season is not something that excites me too much, the first Christmas that dad wasn't at home was very difficult but my mother had always tried her best for us.

Even so, although my mother worked hard year after year, Christmas had not been the same.

"Vanessa Mason?"

I look down to see a very young officer who brings in his hands a small package.

"It's me" I answer, getting down myself from the chair I was in, because I was placing colored lights, I take a few steps towards him "What is happening?"

"A package arrived for you, detective," he says, holding out the cardboard box.

"For me?" I ask confused taking it and checking that indeed, my name is written in the cover.

Fin and Amanda observe me from their desks and I know that they are as confused as I am, because the packages that someone send me, I receive them all in my house.
