Lights dimmed, head down.

Killer migraine.

[chesstotem]

I wouldn't ask you to. [She kisses his mouth, gently.] I love you like this. You make me happy.

[mutedpoint]

*Pulls her close and leans in with a soft sigh*

[chesstotem]

[She kisses his cheek, then his mouth, then smiles.] How about that meal, hm? Or do you maybe want to order in...

[mutedpoint]

*Leans back into the chair*

{Signs} Let's go out.

[chesstotem]

Okay. [She stands, only a little reluctant to leave his embrace, and tugs him up. His tie is loose around his neck - she fixes it for him.]

[mutedpoint]

*A little more fidgeting with collars and jackets and he's ready to head out*

[chesstotem]

[She blithely takes his arm as they reach the street.] What are you doing for the holiday?

[mutedpoint]

{Signs} Besides dropping by to check up on Cobb, and spending a few days with you, nothing.

[chesstotem]

[She's quiet for a couple of moments, considering things. Finally, she figures what the hell.] What if I asked you to meet my family? Would that be...weird?

[mutedpoint]

{Signs} That could depend on what you've told your family about me.

[chesstotem]

I told them I'm seeing someone, who I met through my 'internship'. [Internship being the 'official' cover for her work on the Fischer job. She looks at him questioningly.]

[mutedpoint]

{Signs} You got away with mentioning so little information?

[chesstotem]

Well, I told them your name. [She smiles a little.] I always tell them everything eventually. They let me do it in my own time. Besides, they know I don't like saying much about people I'm dating until or unless it gets serious.

Are we serious?

[mutedpoint]

{Signs} I don't do casual relationships.

[chesstotem]

So you'll meet them?

[mutedpoint]

{Signs} What's the date?

[chesstotem]

[She looks at him carefully.] Christmas Eve?

[mutedpoint]

*Poker faced*

{Signs} Doable, but I have to leave on the 26th.

[chesstotem]

[She grins a little, happy with that answer.] And why the 26th? Got a pressing meeting you didn't tell me about?

[mutedpoint]

{Signs} Cobb.

[chesstotem]

Have you been in touch? How is he?

[mutedpoint]

{Signs} He's getting back into the routine of being a full time father. School, lunches and other activities.

[chesstotem]

I bet it's thrilling. You'll pass along my greetings, I hope?

[mutedpoint]

{Signs} I'll let him know.

[chesstotem]

Don't let the kids get jelly all over your nice ties.
