A/N: I've made the other speaker in this fic purposely ambiguous. You may draw your own conclusions as to who it is, since I'm not quite sure myself.

Five Things That Never Happened to Ed Lane

An Affair to Forget

"Ed, we can't do this."

"Why?"

"Number one, you're married..."

"That doesn't matter to me right now."

"Number two, we work together. We can't let our feelings get in the way of our job. What if Greg found out?"

"He won't."

"How do you know?"

"We'll be careful."

"Ed... I can't. I just can't."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Haven't you been listening? It's too risky. If something happened to you..."

"Nothing's going to happen to me."

"You don't know that, Ed. Everyday we go out there, something could happen."

"I never realised you were such a cynic before. You know what? If you don't want to do this, fine."

"Ed..."

"What? Now that I'm agreeing with you, you're mad at me? Make up your mind!"

"I'm not mad at you. I just... I just want you to understand that this isn't easy for me."

"Fine. I get it. You can't handle the idea of a clandestine relationship right now. But you don't know what you're walking away from."

"No, I think I do know what I'm walking away from. Good-bye Ed. Go home."

"Hey, come on..."

"Go home, Ed. Go home to your wife and your son. We don't belong together."

"Aw, hell!"
