Tell It To My Heart {Luke}

[luke]

After Luke had gotten her address, he had said he might as well get her zip code, when she queried it. So Gabby gave him her zip code, and he jotted it down after her address. Luke then said that he might grab her number, asking if tomorrow would be okay for her to give her statement. Gabby agreed to that, and told him her number, which he of cause wrote down.

After leaving the hospital, and being on the road, soon they were at Gabby's house. Luke opened her door, and allowed for Gabby to get out when she was ready. He then followed her up to her door, making sure that she was okay. Luke kept his eyes on Gabby, as well as looking around to make sure that the surrounding area was clear. It was just something that he was used to doing most of the time, more so at work. Gabby soon had her door opened, and she then spoke to him, thanking him for everything he had done for her. Luke gave her a warm smile, then she asked if he was in a hurry to get back.

He was going to answer, when she asked if he wanted to come in for a coffee or something, her way of thanking him. Luke looked at his watch, noticing the time. "I would love to stay... but..." He so wanted to get back to the station to talk to that guy he had been trying to track down for some time. But then he also wanted to stay with Gabby. Decision, decisions. Though he soon went with the one he wanted to do. "I think I am going to have to take a raincheck, if that is okay? I just have this thing at work that I really much do."

Not wanting to disappoint Gabby, he looked at her. "How about that coffee after you give your statement? That might work better." He gaver her a smile, and then rummaged in his wallet for his card, and handed her one. "Here is my card, with my number. I will call you tomorrow morning to tell you when you can come in. Or better yet, why not come in around nine o'clock, as I will be there already. We can do the statement then, then get some coffee." He waited to see what Gabby would say to that.

{ooc - I was going to end this thread off, but I feel that there might be one more post after Gabby from Luke.}

Gabby had soon given Luke her address including zip code and her number when he had asked for it and they were soon on their way home to her house. She had been very grateful to all the help Luke had given her. Once they had reached her house Luke had gotten out of the car and walked with her to her door and waited until she opened it. Gabby had then asked Luke if he wanted to come in for a coffee or something and added that it was her way of thanking him. She didn’t really know why she had said it or where it had come from but she knew that she felt slightly attracted to Luke and after everything he had done for her today she just felt like he could be a good person to have on side when things got tough, someone who could really protect her. She bit down on her bottom lip slightly after she had asked the question waiting on Luke to answer.

She watched as he looked at his watch and then when he began to speak Gabby sort of already knew that his answer was going to be no. She gave him a warm smile hoping that her disappointment was too evident and then he added to what he had started to say by asking her to take a rain check on it as he had something at work he really wanted to do. She began to shake her head and gave him a brighter smile being completely understanding of his job, “Sure of course, how silly of me.” She replied waving her hand slightly as if to say that she didn’t mind in the slightest and felt really stupid for having asked him in.

She was about to head in the door when Luke spoke again and asked her about the coffee after she had made her statement adding that it might work better. She gave him a bright smile then and nodded her head hopefully not too enthusiastically, “That sounds good to me Luke, yes I can do that.” She replied as she felt her heart skip a beat slightly when he smiled at her and then he continued to speak as he handed her a card saying he would call her in the morning to tell her when to come in and then added that she could come in for nine in the morning, give her statement and then they could go for some coffee. Gabby pondered that for a few seconds and then broke into another bright smile, “That sounds like an awesome idea Luke, I would like that very much.” She replied and so wanted to give him a kiss on the cheek for all his help but somehow something held her back knowing that it might not have been very appropriate at that moment.

So she slowly stepped in the door and as she closed it behind her she stood against the back of it and then brought her hands up to her face and quietly squealed behind her hands knowing that if tomorrow might be the start of them getting to know one another properly she was going to be one very lucky girl indeed.

{ooc - I think Gabby's has closed it off nicely - as I can't see there being much for Luke to reply to - now do you want to do another follow on thread from this? Or are you happy to just assume something has been connected with them and do another thread when it's their turn like we did with Debbie & William?}
