(Night Five – 3x13)
CJ: Hey.
Toby: Did you read it?
CJ: It's great.
Toby: Thank you.
CJ: Someone's going to get an ass-kicking from the missus.
Toby: Listen-
CJ shuts the door on him.
Yes, the report would piss off Andi; he did have a very intricate knowledge of the scope of Andi's annoyances, having been the main one for the past 10 years. However he hated it when people still referred to her as his wife. He shouldn't wear the damn ring really, but it's a bit stuck thanks to the extra pie-induced pounds of the administration and he's not going to risk losing a finger by cutting it off.
Nonetheless, he especially hated CJ making "missus" jibes because she's the last person he wants thinking he's still in love with Andi. He loves her, his Claudia Jean, and there are moments when he's sure she feels the same. Like when they're an entanglement of limbs after sex and she clings onto his waist as he whispers endearments into her hair. They're not young like they were, they don't confuse sex with love these days. He's never been so certain about anything, but he's not going to risk losing her for the sake of 3 little words.
