Natalie Durant sighed as she walked through the doors of the NIH, her coat pulled around her tightly. It was Christmas Eve for God's sake, and here she was, at work, and early. Sighing again she got in the elevator alone and waited for it to get to her floor. Once it stopped she got out and headed to her office where she found Eva and Kate standing inside, examining a vase of what appeared to be roses.
"What's going on?" She dropped her purse and keys into the chair by the door and stopped in between the two women.
"Someone sent you roses." Eva replied.
"I can see that." Walking over to the vase she examined it and when she didn't find a card she sighed.
"There's no name on it or anything." This time it was Kate and Nat couldn't help but chuckle.
"I can see that too." Looking up she noticed the two women staring at her. "What?"
"There a boyfriend hidden somewhere that we should know about?" The smile on Eva's face grew and Nat just shook her head.
"Go back to work." Sitting down she switched her computer on and sighed. "They probably got sent to the wrong person. Are you sure they weren't meant for you Eva?"
Eva laughed and sat down on the edge of the desk. "Miles claims he's never even heard of this place." Fingering the wrapping on the outside of the vase she smiled, "Besides, he knows I prefer white over red."
Nat smiled and shook her head, knowing that even Miles had sent Eva the roses there would have been a card attached. "Thanks guys, but really, you can leave now."
After a minute of silence they both took the hint and left, Kate pulling the door to behind her. Natalie sighed and looked over at the roses, there were quite beautiful, she thought, and instantly felt bad for the person who didn't get them and should have. Shaking her head she turned back to her computer and continued to work, hoping that the day would pass quickly and the holiday with it.
