Chapter Four - #31-40

#31 Home: They say home is where the heart is…While Shannon did agree, there was nothing like owning your own house. There she could do anything she wanted, make it her own and hang all those photos that she had always wanted too. Plus there was the added bonus of sharing a mortgage with Lawson. What's hers is hers and what's his was now hers.

#32 Farewell: Lawson never thought he'd see the day that she would leave… sometimes life just doesn't turn out the way you had planned it.

#33 World: She had always wanted to travel the world. Would she ever get to do it was the question? Lawson, she pondered, did he want to travel? Did it even matter? She could do it by herself if needed. But she would never know until she asked…

#34 Technology: As the team walked back in through the base they heard a cry of frustration…A grin spread across Shannon's face knowing that something technological was getting the better of Lawson. Didn't matter how much he protested, Lawson Blake could be useless with technology.

#35 Fever: Fever to burn as Shannon liked to put it…It was those evenings after a long day at work when she and Lawson got to come home together and unwind, those were the days she lived for!

#36 Laugh: It wasn't very often that laughter was heard in the halls of the TR building…Shannon loved it.

#37 Confusion: Sometimes Shannon was confused. Was he Senior Sergeant Blake? Or just plain old Lawson… It was confusing; they weren't one and the same person sometimes. And it wasn't that she was asking for special treatment…sometimes it felt like the opposite, she just wanted to be treat fairly. And to know that she was a valued member of the team and cared for at home.

#38 Forever: Forever seemed like a long time when you've just promised it to someone…But, as Lawson thought, if you really meant it forever wasn't long enough.

#39 Overwhelmed: Shannon sat down in her office. A short while ago she could have never imagined leaving Tactical Response…but it had happened. She now had an office and didn't really 'walk the beat' anymore. Sure, some days she missed TR, the rush that came with it, but this was a different part of policing and she did enjoy it. As she looked around her small, but personal office her eyes landed on a photo frame. It contained one of her favourite photos of Lawson and herself from their wedding. Shannon picked up the frame and her thumb rubbed over his face; this was the time where it would become all too much...A tear slipped silently down her check. She suddenly was pulled out of her reverie as she heard "Blake!"

#40 Whisper: She still remembered the day that he turned over and whispered in her ear… 'Move in with me!' It was the voice that sent shivers up her spine, still did.
