Every Day Thoughts: February

Feb 1

Friendship is the perfection of love. – Proverb

Jenny glanced at the coffee which had mysteriously appeared on her desk. She had only popped out of her office and into MTAC for two minutes, leaving her intruder a narrow window. Cynthia had not seen anyone pass, and was quite insistent. It left her with one suspect.

Gibbs.

Quite why he would leave her a coffee today of all days bemused her, but she did not dwell on it long. Presumably he had noticed her overflowing inbox when he was ranting and raving the previous day, and decided to bribe her with caffeine.

She did not plan to pass him up either. Taking a long, deep, satisfying gulp, she realized it was her favorite coffee. Smiling softly, she attached the pile of papers with renewed vigor.

As she had predicted, he appeared before the morning was over, barging into her office. She had only recently finished her coffee, and was pleased to receive another one.

He seemed amused by her desire for caffeine, and did not try to hide it. She decided to ignore her most pressing question, and deal with another one instead.

"Something I can help you with, Jethro?" she inquired.

"How much coffee have you had today?" he questioned, completely ignoring her previous query.

She blinked, but answered. "Only the one you bought me. Is there a particular reason you've suddenly become concerned about my caffeine consumption?"

He walked out immediately. Baffled, she took another sip of her coffee. Strange man. She would never understand him fully. But she didn't need to, as he clearly understood her.
