Well, this case should be easy enough. We have to protect a collection of historical artifacts. To do this effectively, we have to go to a party. Laura wanted me to arrange the costumes. It's not the kind of executive decision I'd like to be making, but it's a bit of responsibility and it gave me the chance to dress Murphy appropriately. If he argues, I'll tell him there were no other costumes available.

I shall be Sherlock Holmes, which seems equally apt.

As for Laura, well, this almost fulfils my fantasy of seeing her dressed as a bunny girl. It's as close as I can get without risking serious injury from a very angry Laura. She'll look cute, I know that. And, should she have trouble getting in and out of the costume, I'm happy to help.

1. What are your first and middle names? Is that relevant?

2. When you were a kid, did you wish you were named something else? I was. Many things.

3. What is your favorite national pizza chain? Pizza doesn't quite fit the image.

4. How many pairs of shoes do you own? The bare minimum a man needs, obviously. Probably about twenty. I hate profligacy.

I saw her kissing Wilson and wasn't jealous in the least, because I knew she was kissing him goodbye. She kissed me quite differently. I could honestly kiss her for hours, days, weeks and barely notice the passage of time.

Laura is not like other women. Other women don't make me feel this light-headed or this reckless. Am I really going to let myself fall in love like this? It's too late for questions like that, isn't it?

I'm happy where I am. That's a frightening thought. No itchy feet, no eyes searching the horizon. I want to explore the uncharted territories behind Laura's eyes before I move on. I tell myself I will still move on eventually.

You know what scares me most? I want her approval, and not just as a means to an end. I want her to look at me and smile like she did at the end of this case. Since when do I care what someone thinks of me?

All this time I've longed for Laura to be spontaneous and passionate and just show me how she feels, if, indeed, she feels anything. Last night, she asked me if I thought it was dangerous, feeling too much, too soon. I said that depended on what she was feeling and she kissed me.

I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I'm not saying I wouldn't have been tempted, if I'd known she and Wilson were together, but the truth is, I didn't know Wilson was around when I went to the little outbuilding I had seen Laura heading for.

I've seen another side to Laura. Apparently, some time ago, she did a fan dance in Acapulco. I've been so annoyed with myself for being drawn to a woman who is so tediously proper and now I discover that she is capable of flinging herself heart and soul (and very small fans) into the moment.

Yesterday, to distract Wilson's associates from the fact that the winery they are planning to back contained a corpse in a barrel, she gave them a variation on the feast for the eyes she gave them in Acapulco.

She is amazing.

Of course she's beautiful. No need to say that. Water's wet, trees have trunks, Laura Holt is beautiful. She's also very sexy: the way she moves, the way she smiles, the way she laughs and, now, the way she removes items of clothing.

When pondering the question, "What would Laura do?" I don't think I would ever come up with anything close to the answer, "Steal the body and hide it in the trunk of her car."

White Belt Man has finally made an appearance and I finally got to see the man Laura once lived with. I confess, I'm probably less impressed than I expected to be, even given his sartorial shortcomings.

I was never so sorry to solve a case. It had to be Laura's hero, didn't it? Where's the pleasure in catching the criminal when it means bringing her idol crashing down?
