Angel in the Office

Cal walked through the doors to the Lightman Group with mixed emotions, excitement and nervousness. So he put on his usual blank face and headed towards his office.

"Morning Foster!"

He winced as he bit back calling her his nickname, Gil.

"Morning Cal!"

She called back, her voice sounding like an angel's to him. Cal sighed then walked into his office to find a case file on his desk and a cup of coffee on top of it. It was going to be a long day at the Lightman Group. The whole day was challenging for Cal as he tried to focus on the case, but his mind kept wandering back to the angel sitting in her office. It wasn't that her presence truly impaired his ability to work, but it was like a nagging at the back of his mind that would most likely drive him crazy. Finally Emily walked into his office.

"I brought you some Thai"

Cal grunted a thank you and counted the steps in his head. Any second now she would walk through his door with some sort of mystery meat and an orange slushy in her hands.

"Ok then, bye Dad"

Emily turned to leave just as Gillian was coming in.

"Oh, hi mom"

Gillian looked surprised at first as her eyebrows shot up, but then a smile lit up her face until she noticed Cal was watching and then she put on a smaller, less genuine smile. She knew it was too late though and Cal could always see through her. As Emily left and he saw Gil's reaction Cal nearly jumped up and kissed his angel, his Gil.

"Dumpling?"

"Luv, how many times to I have to tell you not to eat meat you can't see?"

Cal smirked; he loved everything about her including the orange slushies, even if she did eat meat she couldn't see. Gillian shrugged.

"Your loss, what was Emily doing here?"

"Actually she came in to give me lunch, Thai."
