When Luke started sending presents to Penelope, trying to attract her, it was a romantic game. The whole team had already suspected Luke at the time. The way he acted, but no one told him. Matt arrived the team in the meantime and Walker unfortunately lost his life, but they caught Mr. Scratch. Or rather killed the psychopath.
Luke went out one day especially to buy the perfect gift for a much more special occasion. He was going to ask Penelope to marry him. The whole staff was happy.
The ring chosen was magnificent Penelope. A big diamond with some green stones. He would file soon after the Ferrell case. Yes, he was back and Penelope was puzzled. She did not want to comment on that part of life now with Luke and Matt, but God, she did not even tell Matt about her parents so she was not sure.
Luke was surprised she had not told him, but the time to travel was close and JJ was chosen by Emily to stay with Penelope.
She was in her batcave, rearranging her pens when someone knocked on the door. She did not want to see anyone now, but determined not to be stressed she opened it.
A young man with a very well-packed box was waiting for her at the smiling door.
- Delivery. He passed the box and the clipboard. - Can you sign it?
- Right. She was curious. - Thank you.
Returning the clipboard, the young man smiled and walked away. Examining the box, she smiled. Thinking Luke came back with this game of surprises, she opened the box.
She found some of the most beautiful pens she had ever seen. Pink stars, a half bar bite chocolate bar and a little Cupcake on the tips. She was in love.
On the note, written in pink it was just written: "Someone who makes you smile."
She did not understand. Searching the internet she found generic things. She searched in whatever language she could remember. She tried something in Portuguese, one of the many languages of Google translator and found an old song. A band not very well-known in the United States and luckily had a letter translated.
Some good soul had translated the song and she thanked him. Luke probably did not know the band. But it was bizarre to use a song in Portuguese to get their attention.
Not that anything in Portuguese was bizarre. "Saudade" was one of the most beautiful words she had ever heard. But she could not understand.
She left it there. Probably a very obsessed fan had discovered her shipping address and she loved the pens. She decided not to touch the subject.
After the Ferell case was forgotten and she returned to her normal self, Luke wanted to ask her to marry him. Luke knew when this case affected her then it would be a good thing.
- Hey, Garcie. JJ walked into her office to lead her friend to Luke. - Cool pens, Penelope.
- It is not? - She showed them. - I bought them. - She lied. - I thought they were cute.
- Luke needs to talk to you. - She led Penelope to the Bullpen. - Is it urgent.
Penelope would never admit to lying to her friend, but if anyone knew that any fan had sent her presents, they would begin to imagine the worst scenarios.
Arriving in the main room of the team, she saw Rossi and Matt smiling at her and behind Prentiss and Reid. Tara was now where JJ was and Penelope was trying to figure out what the hell they were hiding.
Luke emerged from behind everyone, and as a true enchanted prince knelt down showing the ring.
- Penelope Grace Garcia. - He started. - Would you agree to be my wife?
- Let me think for a moment. - She made a feigned, thoughtful face. - Of course, Luke.
He stood up and kissed her as if they had been separated for years. Penelope knew this might be a good start for both of them. Or maybe it was not.
Someone had invaded the sophisticated security of the FBI video system and was watching the commotion in the room, taking a pill. Writing on a pad of paper.
