Title: Avoidance
There have always been little glances. Half-smiles when the other returns. Strategically planned exits that end with Van Pelt returning surreptitiously...
Rigsby has the expression of a deer in the headlights whenever Lisbon glances his way. Chuckles and giggles follow the three around the office. Laughter that the couple believes they are subtle, and the fact that their boss still doesn't know.
Secretly a romantic, she ignores the glances, the half-smiles. Doesn't call Rigsby on his guilty look, and never calls attention to Van Pelt's lopsided outfit. She feigns ignorance, her policy is avoidance...
Until Rigsby opened his big mouth!
