She was beautiful, like something out of a poem, standing at the end of the hallway wearing jeans and a crimson t-shirt. Hair flipped back, hands tapping her knees in time with the music coming out of Greg's lab, he watched her there for several minutes before she finally noticed him.
"Warrick," she called out, moving toward him quickly, "I've been waiting for Nick for almost twenty minutes. Do you have any idea where the hell he is?" Her blue eyes flashed red with anger as he searched his mind for an answer.
"Probably running late because of traffic," he lied, still staring.
"Yeah, right. He's flirting with the new techie again, isn't he?" She looked him straight in the face and he felt his heart in his chest more obviously than usual.
"Yeah," he said absentmindedly, watching her smile, "Yeah, he's in the break room."
She brushed past him and started walking down the hall. Turning, Warrick watched the back of her as she moved, trying not to stare too noticeably. Then, unexpectedly, she turned and grinned when she saw him watching her. "Don't get too excited, Warrick, you've still got a whole shift to work."
Smiling, he said, "Seeya around, Cath."
