This is my first ever Law & Order fic, so please let me know what you think. Kind, useful criticism is always welcome. This is my response to the LiveJournal Drabble Challenge Holidays Prompt.

Disclaimer: I do not own Law & Order, or any of their characters (ex, Mike and Connie). They belong to Dick Wolf and NBC.

Connie sat on the couch in Mike's apartment, waiting for him to return from his room. "What's taking so long?" she called.

"Just a minute," was his response, followed by the sound of bags rustling.

It was Christmas day, and they were exchanging gifts. It was their fourth Christmas together, second as a couple.

"Okay, that's it. I'm coming in."

Mike suddenly sprinted down the hall and into the living room. "Oh no you're not."

He got down on one knee, opening the small box. Inside was a silver engagement ring with a small diamond on it. "Marry me."

"Yes!"

Again, please review and tell me what you think. Thanks for reading!
