Morgan walked up to her locker to have a fresh change of clothes, this last case had taken a heavy toll on all of them. However after those exhaustive hours of paperwork she was more than ready to go home and hop into her bed.
As Morgan walked by the Trace she saw Hodges still lingering by the lab hunching over a testube.
"Hey you staying overtime?" she said as she acknowledged his half smile.
"I'm just about done with this, just a few slides to clean up"
Morgan watched the way Hodges carefully cleaned the slides before storing them away. Those dexterous fingers moving with such precision that they had her wondering how she could put them to better uses.
"Urghh! Bad Morgan keep your thoughts clean!...for now" she whisper-scolded herself
As Hodges stacked away the rest of the equipment he stole quick glances at Morgan when he knew that she wasn't looking. She was so beautiful both inside out. Her blonde locks framed her face in a golden halo and she made even that blue tee look so sexy.
"...for now" he heard her mutter but as soon as he made the mistake of looking up his eye caught hers in a gaze. When she smiled her baby blue eyes seemed to light up brightening his cynical thoughts.
David Hodges may never admit to it but that kiss he and Morgan shared outside the hospital could never really left his mind.
As Hodges finished up and picked up his coat and turned to Morgan and asked "So are we still on for dinner?"
Smiling brightly she said "Of course! It's a date" the words slipped out of her tongue before she even realised it. Looking at Hodges, she saw a slight blush creeping up his face.
Well we all have some calls to make in our lives and after that episode with Elisabetta she had come to realise how close she had come to losing him. But looking at Hodges' reaction she decided maybe it was time to turn tables...
