Not Ready
She's working in the trace lab and you know you will be interrupting. You really hadn't planned on saying anything, but people were complaining and it was time to take some action.
"When are you going back?"
Calleigh turns her head, startled. "Back where, handsome?"
"Ballistics." You clarify, "It's not the same without you."
"Don't I know it." She replies with a slight grimace.
You weren’t sure what sort of reaction you were going to get, but that one wasn’t expected.
"I can't." She sighs, looking back at her work.
"Okay." Truth or not, you leave her to her thoughts.
