"What do we say when they come in? Do we let them know we know?" Brian asked, he was not acting as badly as he was the previous night when Sandra and Gerry walked into the pub hand in hand and preceded to kiss twice throughout the night.

"They know we know about them Brian. I mean we told Sandra we were going to spy on Gerry. Maybe they were ready for us to know but couldn't find the words?"

"Why didn't they say straight away? Don't they trust us?" Brian asked as he yet again began melting down.

"Of course they do, I suppose they just wanted to be sure it was serious before they let us know. Maybe they wanted to show us that it wouldn't change anything in the office."

"Yeah but it's not going to be the same."

"Brian, we went through all of this last night. It's fine. They've obviously been together a while and have you noticed a change in the last few months?"

"No."

"Well then, I doubt it will suddenly now and if it does then its down to us."

"I've never know Sandra be this late. See that's changed." Brian tried as he looked up at the clock.

"There's a major crash on her road and she's stuck as the roads closed. She sent me a text earlier and I can tell you she isn't at all happy about it, she'll be here as soon as she can be."

"And Gerry?"

"Have you ever known him to be on time?"

"Oi. Occasionally I am at my desk by 9." Gerry interrupted taking them both by surprise as he walked in.

"When?"

"There's been times when I've put cases up on the board before any of you've turned up."

"Okay so like 3 times in 10 years. Congratulations."

"Better than none." Gerry pointed out cheerily.

"Have a good night last night?" Brian asked as he mentally kicked himself.

"Yeah it was perfect, how about you?"

"It was interesting to say the least." Jack started before Brian said something he'd regret.

"How long have you and Sandra been together?" Brian started the mass of questions that both him and Jack wanted to know the answers too.

"5 months and 24 days." Gerry started knowing this was going to happen. He smiled as he remembered the exact day it started and he'd been keeping track of the exact length of their relationship.

"How'd it start?" Jack asked.

"What do you want me to say to that one?"

"The truth?"

"A drunken night."

"Do you love her?"

"More than anything."

After a while the mass of questions were finished and now Jack and Brian knew all the details they needed to know of the once secret relationship.

"Are you both okay with me being with Sandra then?"

"We're going to have to be." Brian replied.

"You keep her happy." Jack commented.
