setting: 2004.06.19. Miami-DADE County.

After Eric got shot in the head and barely survived, he started to see his life in other way, He had numbers for many beautiful girls on his cell phone. Sometimes he'd meet up for just one night and then forget about them, meet other people, or see them again to repeat what he did the night before. He wasn't interested in anything formal; he wanted to have a good time without commitment, a way to de-stress from all the things he has to see due his work at the CSI. But after the shot, he saw his whole life pass by his eyes, only to realize after some thinking with the psychologist that he wants to settle down with someone, anyone who could love him back the way he would love them, but if he had to choose...he would like it to be you, his coworker and friendAlthough he and you have many friends in common to count on, you were always there in a more significant way, already saying that you were there when Marisol, his sister, was killed

When he got from the hospital back to work, you also were there and that's when his feelings for you started, at first it was something small, but then, it became love, he wants to be with you so he shows himself more attentive and soft around you, like bringing you coffee when your lab investigation was tiring and long, offering help, even now he listens to the most small details you spit about yoursel, like how much you love peanuts in chocolate and hate anything bitter, or even if you feel discomfort at small things, like smells or actions, or your allergy to bees. But between all that love, he knows that you are not in love with him, so he wants to win you over to show you that he changed and is ready for biggers than a hook up

You are with your police truck, you had to take a shortcut due to the closed streets, you had evidence that you had taken from the crime scene, until a black truck crashes into you on purpose and throws you into the river, it was difficult but you managed to escape, although the evidence was not saved, you managed to swim to the shore, you called Horatio, the paramedics went to look for you, you are sitting on the edge of the ambulance, Horatio arrives with Eric, who trots towards your side

"Are you okay? are you hurt?" he asks as he puts a blanket over your cold and wet shoulders, Eric seems and is worried, after all, you are his love
