"Hey." He lingered in the doorway for a moment, watching her quietly, and then stepped back a little before turning and heading into the kitchen. Pulling open the fridge door, he reached for a beer but then changed his mind and opted for a bottle of water instead - unsure quite why, but just that he wasn't feeling much like anything. Normally, he didn't mind disciplinary suspensions - sometimes he got paid, but even when he didn't he had enough to get by until he was reinstated, and he didn't mind the time off. He wasn't like her - was much less driven. It was hard this time around though because, should he re-test positive, his only options were accept expulsion, or appeal. An appeal would mean blood tests and meetings, and rumors flying around the agency. It was attention that he just wasn't interested in right now. -- Bailey Alexis' Apartment

She looked over her shoulder at his quiet demeanor, her brow furrowed, She stood up after a few seconds, setting aside her papers before she came up behind him, her arms around his waist as she pressed a soft kiss to his shoulder gently. "Whats up?" She could already tell just by his demeanor something happened to upset him and she hated seeing him upset. (NT) -- Bailey, 11:07:20 10/02/04 Sat
