They had stopped in at Lila's Case, Lila's office /kitchen and Harvey watched as Lila walked into her office to call the fishmonger. Harvey looked at the schedule board in the back kitchen and frowned slightly, she had excessively many events next week and two this weekend. He looked around the kitchen and he could not help but smile, he was in the middle of his wife's world, not his and it felt intimidating for a moment. He lifted up a book, filled with scribbles and knew it was Kenny's scribbles. He wrote as he spoke frantically. Harvey felt his own pocket vibrate and looked down at a text from Mike , saying how lucky he was he didn't come in and told him that he was coming over tonight for payback . Harvey smirked knowing that Dana probably interrogated his co-worker making Mike a stuttering mess.
He heard Lila coming back out of the office and wondered how he ever got so lucky , she still had the phone stuck to her ear and was yelling at someone on the other end of the phone . She looked at Harvey and gave him the one minuter look. He smiled as he watched her continue to wander back behind a desk and open a calendar. She flipped through the book on her desk and sat down for a moment before her last out burst began.
"Listen to me and listen good, if that fish isn't here when I need it I will promise you that this will be the last time I order from you and I will make sure that no one orders from you … Henry do you think for a minute that I can't make sure that you are ruined as a fish monger. Fine call Kenny tomorrow and he will tell you what he needs and if you pull this crap again, we sir are done "Lila threw down the phone and looked over at her husband, who was grinning ear to ear.
"Mrs. Specter sounds like you drive a hard bargain "Harvey smirked.
" Harvey you have no idea what I am capable of " she told him smiling ' Let me just check one more thing and we can get going " Harvey nodded .
Lila went back into the office and check the schedules and event calendar before locking the place back up and leaving a note for Wendy about calling the places for the scheduled events , this week was going to be rough and she probably wouldn't see to much of her husband .
"Alright, ready to go big man?"
"I am other wise I might put you to work; I'm starving, and let's get something to eat "Harvey chirped. He knew if she had it her way the blues club would be the next place they stopped and he did not feel like eating bar food now.
They walked down to a small garden diner that she had found a few weeks ago, served light food salads, finger sandwiches made with fresh items. , Harvey had a roast beef sandwich with carrot fries as he called them and a beer, which he was not sure if he should have one when Lila could not, but she insisted he have one. Lila had the squash salad and lemonade, and then later as they were walking she wanted an onion bagel, which she split with Harvey.
She walked into Randy's music shop and this is where they split ways , Harvey pulled towards guitars and horns , while Lila went to randy to replace her mic and pick up a new one . She had gone into one of the sound proof rooms and started to belt out " at last " . Since no one else was in the store Randy left the door open and he saw Harvey smile as he listened to the rasp voice of his wife come out of the room. About two hours later Harvey had arranged for their items to be sent to their apartment. On the way out, he told her, he needed to go to the office for a second. It was a quick walk and Lila had hoped that they could call ray instead of walking home, it was getting cold out. They went up to the floor and Harvey greeted Donna, and then asked where mike was while Lila went to talk to Jessica about the show tomorrow night.
Lila headed into the women room and bumped into the woman she had met the other day. Dana? Deanna? She smiled at her and watched as the other woman closed the door and walked closer to Lila.
"So Harvey picked you over me huh? " Dana started; she wanted to see how far she could push this woman.
"What?"
"Did Harvey ever tell you about me?" she pressed.
"No why should he?" Lila asked.
"Really, see that is interesting since I was sleeping with Harvey right up until I left NY four years ago and I come back only to find out he married you not long after I left. I find it odd that he would never mention me at all, I mean we had the thing together ever since Harvard you know "
" I have no idea why he never mentioned you to me Dana , maybe because it wasn't important , maybe because he was happy enough with me and looking forward to his future he didn't have time to keep looking n his past " Lila finally barked out and took a step closer to the shorter woman .
" well Lila , maybe you should ask Harvey about me and why he never stuck with me and married the first woman who came along after me . He knew he couldn't have me once I left and settled for the next best thing " Dana told her as she rinsed her hands and headed out of the bathroom , she stopped and looked at the woman .
'Just food for thought "she finished as she walked out of the bathroom.
Lila leaned against the wall as she let Dana's words flood her head. She never really thought why Harvey settled down so quickly after they had started dating. There were men she never told Harvey about. They never really did the past lovers speech. Maybe tonight she would ask him about it. She looked at herself in the mirror, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the women's room to go find her husband.
