Epilogue:
Two months later:
Jordan's apartment: Kitchen
Jordan poured the popcorn from the popcorn maker into the large bowl. She then went to the refrigerator and got two bottles of beer. Closing the door she saw the plaque 'physician heal thyself' that Dr. Hoffman had given her before Jordan had left Seattle. She smiled; thinking about how much had changed since that first day in Hoffman's office.
Taking the bottles and the bowl out of the kitchen and into the living room; she set the items on the coffee table before sitting on the couch next to Callen. They'd been seeing each other for about two months and so far so good. They were taking things slow.
Sam wanted Callen to dress as Professor Remus Lupin for his daughter's Harry Potter themed birthday party. Deeks and Kensi were going as Hermione and Ron. Jordan, who was surprised by the invite, was going as Professor McGonagall.
"Ok, explain this Lupin guy to me," Callen said.
Jordan turned on the DVD player to start the movie Harry Potter: Prisoner of Azkaban. "He appears for the first time in this movie."
"I can't believe you have all the Harry Potter movies," Callen said.
"My nephew loves Harry Potter so I have them here for when he visits," she said, seeing his raised eyebrow she continued, "OK, I like the movies too, hush!" she finished with mock indignation that was marred by her own smile as he laughed.
"You read the books too?" he asked.
"Yes," causing him to laugh again which earned him a swat on the shoulder. "Fine, laugh all you want. Still think it was nice of you to agree to be Lupin for Sam's daughter."
"Yeah, just make a fool of myself for an hour," Callen said.
Jordan placed a soft kiss on his lips, "You'll be fine and probably enjoy yourself."
Callen didn't look too sure.
The movie started and by the end of it Callen was hooked.
The end.
Hope everyone enjoyed the chapter. I plan to write more Callen and Jordan stories. My next one will be lighter after this dark one. Please review, I welcome your comments. It will help me be a better writer.
