Once again it is past dinner time and James is still working at the station. It seems like it's all he does anymore. He works, goes home, collapses on the bed, then wakes up again in the morning for more work. He does it because he knows he has to. Somehow, after coming back to this stupid rock, he had acquired the responsibility of taking care of

Juliet sidles ever so silently - she took great pride in her stealth, especially when it meant being able to sneak up on James, who never seemed to get used to her ninja-like sneaking abilities - behind James, who was sitting at his desk, and watches him fondly for a few moments, grinning as he huffed in frustration at himself every so often.

He'd been missing a lot of dinners lately. She knew it was because he was working so damn hard lately and she loved him for it, but she always did tend to worry when he went through these kinds of stints. Especially these days. He shoulders so much on this Island and, consequently, blames himself when things go wrong.

She finally breaks the silence.

Keep missing my dinners and I'm going to start thinking you don't like my cooking...

James is deep in thought, filling out yet another package drop to accomodate all of the new arrivals, when Juliet jolts him out of his thoughts. He jumps slightly, straightening up, trying to make it seem like he hasn't been startled senseless. He stretches a bit and sighs, leaning back to glance at Juliet.

Well...I don't want to confirm your fears, but did you use the stove at all tonight?

He's joking, of course, but he can't help but take the opportunity to pick at her a bit.

Of course not, baby.

She presses a kiss to the side of his head and plants a tupperware container on his desk, with a large sandwich and chips inside.

What do you think I am, crazy?

He chuckles, wrapping an arm around her waste when she moves closer. He looks at the container, his stomach growling as he gazes upon the food. He had gotten so caught up in his work that he hadn't realized how hungry he was.

Mmm. It looks great.

He smiles up at her, looking over her face. He really didn't see her enough these days.

You are too good to me.
