Goren watched his partner surreptitiously over a file, head cocked slightly as he observed her. No obvious signs of distress, but there was something wrong. They way she had hesitated when coming into the squad room earlier, the slight vulnerability he could only see when she thought no one was looking. She was rigid, quiet, her usual acerbic wit kept to a minimum. Her hair was pulled back in a tight bun, adding a severity to her features that would have thrown anyone else off, but not him.
Never him.
Instead of the usual tank-top, she wore a crisp black blouse, one that appeared to have been ironed just that morning and then he got it. It was the anniversary. It came around every year, and yet it was one of those days that always slipped Goren's mind. His nose twitched, the only sign that there was some sort of inner turmoil going on. He cleared his throat, and Eames looked up.
" Uh... Uh, would you... You want to go get a coffee... or something... Yeah?" He asked, scratching the back of his head slightly, and Eames smiled softly.
"Thought you'd never ask, Bobby."
