I finally understand what drove her.

This concerning last night? Or did I miss something, while at 'work'?

About last night, yes. You didn't miss anything.

Oh, good. I might have been upset if I had.

No, I think you're still up to speed. I gave the doctor the research I had this morning.

Really. How did he take it?

Like a kid at Christmas.

I'm not sure if I should be surprised.

It's sort of cute.

That sounds...oddly ominous.

It's not meant to be.

...All right.

I just....after seventeen years of not understanding her, I think I do a bit more now.

Why?

Adam.

...Not following.

It's..complicated. And I don't mean that as a brush off, just trying to figure out where to start.

Okay. Well, when you figure it out, do let me know.

........Baileigh. That's not what I meant, at all. But I don't want to talk about Irina via the internet.

Of course that's not what you meant. Just, whatever, when you feel like cluing me in, I'll be around.

Why don't we go get dinner, now that the shift has changed?

All right.

Right. We're in New York, so....the sky's the limit on cuisine choices. What do you feel in the mood for?

Sassy has me kind of burnt out on Italian and Greek. Other than that, I'm not picky.

Something exotic or something comforting?

I don't know...preferably something light, not too heavy.

I know a good Ethiopian place?

That's fine.

Sounds good, then.

Does this dinner come with actual, real, straight answers, by any chance, or should I bring a book?

Real straight answers, I promise.

Okay.

All right.
