The ride home had been one of joy but also a rather emotional one for Conelly with Judy giving them both a bone-crushing hug upon seeing them,

"Conelly you ok", Reggie asked gently with the utmost concern showing in her eyes, while messaging the back of her hand.

"oh I'm fine", Conelly assured giving Reggie a half baked smile.

"Conelly I thought we promised to try to be more honest with each other from now on", Reggie reminded hurt clearly evident in her tone. "I promise that you can trust me", Reggie whispered sadly while turning away. Conelly gently caught Reggie's cheek bringing them face to face,

"I know I can princess", Conelly soothed gently pecking her beloved's lips, "and you're right it'd be easier to just be honest with you, but not here I'll talk to you about it as soon as we get some privacy ok, I promise", Conelly assured giving Reggie a grateful forehead kiss,

"Thank you", Reggie exclaimed giving her girlfriend a comforting hug, "I'll never force you to tell me anything that you don't want to, but we're a team now, you're problems are mine too". Unbeknownst to both girls, Judy Abbott had tears shining in her eyes as she couldn't be more proud of her daughter.
