It rang for a bit but didn't go to voicemail before she picked up sounding a tad out of breath.

"I'm here! Don't hang up!"

"This is me, not hanging up," replies Dinah. "Hi, Zee. Please tell me you've just been jogging or some other form of exercise that doesn't have to be performed naked."

"Dinah! Oh my god!" The giggles are on the embarrassed side. "I wouldn't have answered the phone if...um...Hi! Where have you been?! Happy Birthday!"

"Turkey, and thank you."

Celibacy was definitely beginning to chafe, but no point in resenting those more fortunate than she. "Other than congratulating me on making it through another year, what's up?"

Dammit, sometimes she doesn't mean to make innuendos.

The phone answers on the third ring.

"You've got Hal."

"Hey, flyboy. It's Dinah." She swings her legs up onto the couch, hastily avoiding the frozen yogurt stain. "Sorry I missed the birthday call. I was in Turkey."

"Dinah!" The smile can be heard over the phone. "Thanks, but I don't need to hear what you were doing with lunchmeats."

"Vegan now, remember? I'll keep my hands off your meat if you can keep your mind out of the gutter." She can't help but grin. "How're you doing?"

Just as Dinah hangs up, the phone rings again.

Dinah? Tell me I'm not gettin' the friggin' message machine again.

"Ollie!" She sits up straight. "No, it's me. I'm back. Hi."

Hi yourself. What have you been up to? Getting kidnapped by the girls for your birthday?

"I wish." She can't stop grinning into the phone. "I've been in Turkey, helping to take down an international arms dealer. How's Mia?"

There's a scuffling on the communicator, the sound of giggling, and the sound of Ralph calling his daughter's name in the background. Sue, of course, is her usual self.

"Grand Central Station."

Taking a moment to unwind at his waterfront home in Portsmouth, looking out at the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean, he lets the ringtone he set up for Dinah play for a moment.

"At Last" by Etta James.

But he'll answer before it's done.

"Hello," he says, pointedly not as an interrogative.

"Hey," she answers in a soft voice. "Thank you for the birthday present."

Can't not smile. No reason to resist.

"You're welcome. Wasn't sure if you'd like the colors."

"I love them. It's a great present." She wonders if she sounds too schoolgirlish, then decides she doesn't give a damn if she does. "How've you been?"
