She walked down the stairs into the familiar basement carefully avoiding the third step which she knew sqeaked when someone would step on it. The occupant of the basement showed no sign the he knew she was there. Once she reached the bottom of the stairs she walked behind the occupant who was sitting on a barstool drinking a mason jar of bourbon. Ziva slowly reached around him and poured herself a glass of bourbon and sat on the barstool waiting for him to talk.
Gibbs knew she was there the entire time because she was the only one that avoided the third step so quietly. After Ziva poured herself a glass of bourbon Gibbs cleared his throat and set his mason jar down. Ziva followed in suit setting her glass down too.
Then Gibbs did something he didn't do very often, he looked Ziva straight in the eye and said, would you be ok going undercover with me for an extended period of as my wife? When Gibbs said wife Ziva perked up a little bit them knodded her head yes and both of them picked their glasses of bourbon back up.
