A/N: Again, do not own the characters. Hope you like what I have done! Enjoy!

He liked to walk up behind her to scare her. But sometimes- just sometimes- she caught his whiff and stilled herself not to jump when he said her name so close.

"Lisbon." It was said softly into her ear so she took a breath before turning, see him close to her.

"Good morning, Jane," Agent Teresa Lisbon greeted her consultant, forcing herself not to give anything in her features away.

The blond man before her gave a gentle smile. "Good morning."

The petite brown haired, green eyed thirty something shifted as she maintained her gaze to show she was not intimidated. "Do something for you?"

His grin widened, making her nervous. He held up something in his hands. "Present."

Her eyebrows shot up. "You know it's not my birthday. What are you buttering me up for?"

The handsome man bounced onto his heels, his three piece suit making him look erroneously like a business man. "Nope, not a gift. A present." Only Patrick Jane would say there was a difference. "You said you would go."

Lisbon narrowed her eyes. "Go?" She snatched the paper and looked closely at the words. "Ireland? Tomorrow!"

"Yep."

"Uh, nope. In case you've missed it I can't exactly take off such short notice. I'm in charge of a team."

"Taken care of," He said, with a smirk.

"And," She said, paying no heed to his words, "a whole week? Could you have given me a little more notice? Wait...what?"

"Taken care of. I talked to Minnelli and requested time for both of us. I told him you needed a vacation but would never actually take it unless I got you out of the country. He agreed."

She looked at him astounded. "But the team!"

"Cho can handle it for a week. Ever since Shea was here he's been talking about you to his family. My cousins want to meet you, Lisbon. And I think it'd be really fun."

She studied the tickets once more. "I've always wanted to see Ireland."

"Here's your chance."

Lisbon finally smiled. "Aren't you afraid you might lose me to the Malone charm?"

Jane laughed. "You're immune to me, you're immune to my family. Now, let's tell the kids Mommy and Daddy are going to play then go home to pack. Plane leaves very early tomorrow.
