A date?

Well, you know, we were supposed to work.
Then I thought maybe I'd watch some TV, and there's nothing really on...

Those plans.

So, instead of TV...?

Yeah, so that's the question right...
What're you up to now that we've got the night off?

I'm waiting to see what gets thrown at me.

I don't like too much time on my hands.
Seems like trouble, when there's too much time.
I guess you know, right...

*cocks her head a bit and looks at him, can't keep herself from wondering how things are with him*

*notices her look and tilts his own head*

Right.

Goren, I just, I... you seem, uh,... I don't know how to...

*she can't seem to finish a question, she can't seem to ask him, she figures he'll brush her off*

Have you been to see Gage?

*she asks something else, her question surprises her, but it's been on her mind*

*tilts his head, curious about what she had started to say*

Uh... *looks down and rubs at the back of his neck* no. Not yet.

Not that you should want to... or that you shouldn't, um...

*she kind of shakes her head, she's not the best with the personal stuff, he kind of vanished across the personal days Ross forced on him, she wants to ask, but she wonders if she should...*

It's a lot, it's just a lot...

Shouldn't what? *looks up but doesn't lift his head*

I shouldn't be having this conversation, that's what.

*she shifts uncomfortably from foot to foot*

I just want to ask you if you're Ok, but that's fucking dumb right? Because you'll say you are, and I'll know I shouldn't have asked, and really why should you be Ok, that is... because I wouldn't be... Ok...

I'm okay. *the statement could be sincere or an attempt to brush her off*

Right, that's how it goes right...

*she shakes her head again, moving her hair out of her face, she looks at him*

It's a funny thing being Ok, no one's ever quite convinced of it, especially if you can't convince yourself.

*she gives him an out by changing the subject*

So, what've you heard about Logan?

*gladly takes the out which should answer her question*

I know he's leaving.

I've heard Ross knows Logan's replacement. I've asked around about that, I'll let you know if I hear anything.

*she looks at him*

Bobby, if you ever, that is... *she's looking for what to say* ...call me anytime, for anything.

*she puts it out there for him*

Listen, I gotta go.
Anytime, anything.

*She re-emphasizes the words*

*nods* Enjoy your night.
