Frank looked up at her and smiled, "Client-lawyer word association, I should have picked that up. Especially since I'm a Federal Agent."
Michelle said, "That's exactly why you should have thought the other word association, client-call girl! But I won't hold it against you."
"Does that mean I can redeem myself by taking you to dinner Saturday?"
"Well, it depends if you can afford me!" She laughed.
"A woman after my heart."
"And other parts, if I get my way." She said shocking herself at being so bold.
"Are you sure you're a lawyer?" He asked her as he kissed her.
She returned the kiss, but he didn't feel the "spark". He was disappointed after the sleepless nights of dreaming of the "Mermaid"; he wasn't giving up so easily.
"I guess I should apologize." Frank said.
"For what, I was a consenting adult. Although I enjoyed this time, I really must be going. I would appreciate if you could assist me to my brother's apartment."
"Your wish is my command." He answered.
Frank took her to her brother's apartment; she made introductions, and confirmed her date for Saturday night.
Frank was in a good mood when he entered the "nest" the next morning.
"Good Morning." Frank said.
"Morning boss." Everyone said.
"Since all of you are sitting down, I'm going to share some news with you."
"Where's the real Frank Donovan, what have you done with him?" Cody asked. The remark got a laugh out of all of them including Frank.
"Ok, you got your laugh for today, now for the bomb. I just wanted to let you know that I have a date on Saturday."
The team had the deer in the highlight look. Not one of them knew what to say so silence was the best.
By Thanksgiving, Frank had been dating Michelle for two months and thought he was doing a good job moving on after Chris. Frank and Michelle had decided that they would spend Thanksgiving with the team and Christmas with her family.
Chris was spending Thanksgiving with Captain Castillo's family, in a few days she would be retired. She was planning to start a consulting business after the New Year.
Christmas was fast approaching which included a lot of first for everyone. This was Frankie first Christmas, and Frank's first Christmas spending it with someone since his wife. Michelle noticed that he was preoccupied at times when they were shopping but didn't press the issue. She knew that even though Frank tried to hide his moods it didn't always work. Frank never spoke of the past, but she knew that something or someone had hurt him deeply.
