I suppose I've found the one problem with being up here and away from all the turmoil - I forgot how close some of it can get to us. I probably should have checked in with Roy long before now, but I got so caught up in playing the happy homemaker

Maybe a little of both, although I'll admit to nothing.

That is true, it's not like you'd want an excuse to get out of the office by visiting the staff shrink in her house.

Glad to hear it.

You make a good point. The only incentive I could offer is that at my home I don't have a dress code.

I think you working at home would just mean that I would have to get shorter shifts to see you more often.

I'm always available to talk. (Although if this is about that cigarette pile in the garage, I can only remind you that I'm not the only smoker around the place.)

True, I wouldn't want to give up any chances I have to see you, although there are other ways for us to see more of each other.

I know, but I wanted to give you a heads up. (No, it's not about that. I trust both of you to clean that up before we leave.)

[nicotinebullets]

I'm more than open to hear those other options. And by the way, if Roy's planning something fishy, tell him that someone's service pistol might be giving off accidental discharges very soon.

Okay. You want to after dinner? (Yeah, we'll try to make a team effort as unlikely as that might be.)

[crimsonkure]

Glad to hear that, since I'm open to sharing them. I'll let him know, although I think he just wants to see me in ever-decreasing skirt lengths.

So long as you don't mind. (I can't think it's all that unlikely, you two probably have more in common than both having been with me.)
