It turns out that Dr. Jeremy Reed was the winner of the Mindy Pool. Mindy had survived a whole three months and one week in Haiti (two weeks longer than Jeremy's guess) before finally conceding to defeat and admitting to herself that she couldn't take it any longer. The funny thing is that she broke up with Casey within one week of arriving, she just didn't want to prove everyone right by returning so quickly after she left.

And what was the cause of Mindy and Casey's break up? The second time his penis knocked off her glasses, she played it off as a hilarious situation to stop herself getting pissed off. The fifth time he ruffled her newly short hair, she gently steered his arms away and explained that it made her feel like a little boy and would he stop it please. But when she walked into the tent and caught him using her toothbrush, that was the final straw.

"Casey what the hell?! "

"Hey babe…Sorry I couldn't find mine. It's ok, right?"

Mindy must have spent a full half hour yelling why it was not ok and was it humanly possible to find someone as annoying as him and how she desperately needed some space. When he started to quote a bible verse she shoved all her things in the pink rucksack she had brought with her and stormed out to find the nearest hotel. Casey, surprisingly, never went after her and a couple of weeks later Mindy saw a picture of him with a gorgeous long haired girl on his facebook page.

So Mindy spent as long as she could volunteering at the local hospital, trying to pass as much time as possible, all the while thinking of the people she left behind in New York. In particular, reliving a moment that had happened on the break-room couch til she had exhausted every possible detail. Growly voice that had come out of his gorgeous mouth and deep brown eyes looking at her like he wanted to say something (or do something) but nothing happened. But my God, how she wanted something to happen.

Walking back into Schullman and Associates was easier than she thought it would be. Seeing Betsy's gaping mouth, looking at Mindy like Christmas had come early and getting a rib crushing 30 second hug from Morgan (Mindy could hear him counting under his breath) made her feel at home again. Jeremy had literally jumped for joy with his fist in the air and collected his $52, acting like it was the largest sum of money he had seen in his life. Noticing that Danny had his office door closed, Mindy casually mentioned him to Betsy.

"So is Danny in with a patient?"

"No, he's just by himself."

"Oh. Probably on the phone to Christina."

"Christina? No they broke up ages ago…like a couple of days after you left." Betsy used her hand to shield her mouth and said with a stage whisper "I thought he would take his pants off and cry like last time but he didn't."

And there it was. That glimmer of hope, the possibility that something non platonic could actually happen between them now there wasn't anybody holding them back.

Mindy knocked on his door, taking a couple of deep breaths before opening it. Danny was sitting behind his desk; his jaw went slack at the sight of her and he managed a croaky "Hey."

Mindy, feeling like Danny would be suspicious if she was not her usual chirpy self, greeted him and proceeded to tell him about all the volunteering she had done...about that hot yet creepy Haitian guy she passed every day to the hospital, the lack of clothing stores and how she survived with one tube of lip gloss throughout the whole three months because she didn't know whether people would judge her if she used different colours everyday. Even though, ofcourse, he had never asked.

Danny got up from his desk and slowly walked nearer to her - she had been leaning against the door and for some reason couldn't bring herself to move any closer.

"You grew your hair." He finally managed to say after a few seconds of awkward silence.

"Yeah, I guess you could classify it as a bob now. I was trying to go for Keira Knightley but I think it's ended up looking a bit more Velma Kelly."

"I don't know what those things are."

"Right." How did he look even more gorgeous than the last time she saw him? Mindy had always noticed how handsome he was, she just never entertained the idea that she would want him in that way. Mindy was really hoping he would say something about their last encounter but the longer she spent the more and more unlikely it seemed that it was going to come up.

She took two steps tentatively towards him, marvelling at her own courage at what she was about to do.

"Hey. Danny?"

"Yeah?" It was barely a whisper. She was standing so close she could almost feel his breath on her face and his eyes were boring into her. She could tell he was breathing faster than normal.

Then with one swift, yet not rushed, move she leaned up and kissed him chastely on the corner of his mouth. Her eyes fluttered open as she leaned back, wondering if she could gauge his response through his face. She couldn't. He just stared at her, eyes darting from one side of her face to the other. Shit, she had clearly got her signals mixed up. But before she could turn away and walk to her office (pretending like that last 5 seconds did not happen), Danny leaned in towards her, kissing her more firmly.

Anyone who looked at Danny's face could tell he was a good kisser, but my God, when it was happening she could barely keep herself standing, her knees were so weak. His soft lips were all over hers and he ran his tongue around the inside of her bottom lip, drawing a line around them. It felt so clichéd, but Mindy couldn't stop herself moaning into his mouth, pulling him closer by his shirt and running her fingers through his hair. He responded by backing her up against his door making sure he had as much of his body on hers as possible, and pinning her arms on either side of her head. God, he drove her wild.

There was a knocking and they could hear Betsy's voice through the other side of the door.

"Um. Dr. Castellano?"

Danny pulled away panting with a massive grin on his face, cupping his hands around Mindy's face and giving soft small kisses all around it, almost like he couldn't bear to be apart for those seconds. Mindy responded by kissing his neck and playfully nibbling on his earlobe. He moaned.

"Betsy, I'm kinda in the middle of something." Pulling Mindy's face away from his neck, he brushed her hair from her eyes and kissed her again, hard.

"Your girlfriend is here."

The shock of hearing it made Mindy suddenly pull her head back and it slammed against the door.

"Ouch."
