Exes are never a good thing.

No, no they are not.

[flirtyengineer]

[Caitlin just gives him a vulnerable look.] Tell me not to be scared, Dan. 'Cause I'm kinda terrified.

[spreadoutinanutshell]

What has you scared? [He draws her close.] You have nothing to be scared of.

[flirtyengineer]

Your ex-girlfriend works somewhere in the building? [Or used to. She may have misinterpreted what Casey said because she went a little nuts when she heard the phrase 'ex-girlfriend'.]

[spreadoutinanutshell]

That's a big ex to that.

Remember the girl that really hurt me? Wasn't really divorced and ended up going back to her husband?

[flirtyengineer]

Yeah. I do.

[spreadoutinanutshell]

This is the ex.

I can honestly tell you that you have nothing to be scared of.

[flirtyengineer]

Good, because I really don't wanna lose you. Especially with me leaving for a week.

[spreadoutinanutshell]

You won't lose me.

[flirtyengineer]

Danny. [Caitlin sighs and rests her head against his chest.] I don't have to go. I can stay. Dana would totally get it.

[spreadoutinanutshell]

Go for it Caity. I'll be right here when you get back. [A soft, tender kiss.] I'm all yours remember?

[ibelonghere]

[Tara offers a nod of understanding.] Ain't that the truth.

[flirtyengineer]

I know you are. I just think it's so early in our relationship for me to be running off. [A small smile.] Did you just give me a pet name?

[flirtyengineer]

I just found out Dan's ex works in our office.

[ibelonghere]

Damn. I'm sorry, it's never easy having to deal with them.

[flirtyengineer]

Yeah, well hopefully I won't have to see her. How are you, Tara?

[ibelonghere]

Hope you have better luck at that than I do, seems Jax's ex is turning up around everybody a lot more as of late. [Tara knew Wendy was up to something, she just couldn't figure out what it was.] Good. Think I'm catching my sons cold but, other than that I can't complain. How about you Caitlin?

[flirtyengineer]

I'm okay. I mean life's good. Just nervous because I have to go to St. Louis next week, and it's the first time Dan and I will have been apart since we got together.

[ibelonghere]

How long are you going to be gone for?

[flirtyengineer]

Probably about a week. Depends on how many games the Division Series goes.

[ibelonghere]

[A slender brow arches.] You're not worried that Dan is going to do something stupid while you're gone are you? [Like try to get back with his ex.]

[spreadoutinanutshell]

[Pauses and smiles.]

Yeah, yeah I did.

[flirtyengineer]

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous, but I trust Dan. It's more I don't know who this girl is. She could be impossibly beautiful or something.

[flirtyengineer]

It's cute.

[A sigh, pushing the insecurity out of her head and kissing him lightly.]

Am I seeing you tonight? I'd like to spend some time with you before I go at least.

[ibelonghere]

You haven't seen her yet? [Tara tilts her head to the side a bit.]
