"Enough questions. I said I'd take you dancing. Let's leave it at that."

As he said the words he thought of the bargains he'd made with himself.

The day he'd forced himself to go to Rodi's and as he sat there alone he stared at the pool table that was unplayed. That was when he'd made the bargain that he'd never give up the chance to play pool with her again. No matter how into a case he was-she brought him back to life and helped him re-evaluate the situation.

The night he couldn't sleep he'd somehow made it up the roof the hotel and watched the sunrise was when another bargain was made. He'd never live another day without her being there to see the sunrise with him.

He'd forgotten where the dancing bargain had come from-something had made him remember the dance he'd watched her dance with Paul Cramer at Ultra Violet and he realized he'd never gotten a real dance with Natalie before.

John looked down at the flowers in her lap-that was another one he'd start on in the morning. Always fresh flowers-he wanted to be able to tell them they were really from him this time and not some other suitor.

The most important bargain though-that was the one he'd made just tonight on the drive up the mountain with Bo. He'd made the bargain that if she got out of this safely he'd never hide his true feelings for her again.

And she was safe. And he was ready to tell her how he really felt about her.
