“I see you used the family portrait coupon” Duffy yelled out as the other detective walked away, “thank you.”  She studied Les’ face then cursed to herself.  “Why do they have to go and die on me?”  She put the photo in the case file got up and grabbed her jacket, Duffy had a few more questions for Oliver Moore.

“Ready?”  Carmen smiled at Sam who nodded in response then walked into her waiting arms.

“You?”  Sam asked as her head lowered to Carmen’s waiting lips.  She nodded her response then opened her mouth to Sam’s.  They kissed for a couple of minutes and were on the brink of getting down and dirty had Carmen not broke away from Sam’s hungry lips.

“Baby people are staring” Carmen said out before Sam reclaimed her lips.

“Mhmm” Sam didn’t want to waste time or kisses since it had been two hours since she had tasted Carmen’s lips.

“Oh for god’s sakes she just passed through a screening” Jenny rolled her eyes at the gaga pair.

“You’re just jealous because I have a girlfriend and you don’t” Carmen teased after she and Sam separated to laugh at Jenny.

“And that you and your girlfriend get an all expense paid trip to Arizona with us” Lydia added to their teasing.

“Thank you Lydia” Jenny looked at her in annoyance, “I forgot how lovey-dovey you can be Carmen.”  Jenny said as she and Lydia walked ahead of them.

“Am I?”  Sam asked as she and Carmen followed them to the gate.  Carmen automatically knew what Sam was asking about and realized that they had never discussed the status of their relationship.

“Um” Carmen started but then realized that she may have presumed too much, “if it’s not what you want then I’m okay with it” was the most logical and neutral response she could come up with.  Sam stopped then turned to wrap her arms around Carmen.

“I’m sorry” Sam kissed her on the cheek then said “I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable, of course I want to, I just wasn’t sure if you were joking or not.”

“I guess we were too busy being in the moment we forgot to define it” Carmen kissed her again.  “I’m not going to make any mistakes with you.”
