(That evening, Skye is sitting on the couch working on her lap top when
when the front door opens and Michael calls out.)
Michael(jokingly)Honey I'm home.
Skye(light): Dinner will be on the table in a few minutes sweetheart. (at Michael's mock horror look) Don't worry, I didn't cook anything I ordered in. Hope you're in the mood for lasagna.
(He sits down next to her.)
Michael: Sounds great, just give me a few minutes to jump in the shower and then we'll eat.
Skye: Okay.
(He goes into his bedrooom and when he comes back out his hair is still wet from his shower. He goes into the kitchen where Skye is just taking the lasagne out of the oven and is putting it on the table. On the table there is a loaf of garlic bread and a caesar salad. She looks at her watch and smiles, Michael notices this.)
Michael: What?
Skye: It's nice to see some things never change...you're infamous four minute showers before dinner.
Michael: Boarding school influence, if you wanted to have hot food you showered quick. Is there anything I can do?
Skye: You could cut the bread while I get the drinks. What do you want?
Michael: Whatever you're having is fine.
(Michael cuts the bread as Skye gets out the bottle of sparkling cider and she pours them both a glass. When they are done they sit down and start eating.)
Michael: So what did you do today?
Skye: I went for a drive and when that didn't clear my head I went for a walk on the beach. Alan called, he was worried about me and called to make sure I was okay. He said that as far as he was concerned I'm still his daughter and he loves me very much.
Michael: That's great. His reaction surprises you though?
Skye: Yeah it does, I knew AJ and Lila would stick by me but I wasn't sure if Alan would. He accepts his adoptive daughter Emily as his own but he chose to adopt her, he was tricked into our relationship.
Michael: Yes but that had nothing to do with you, it was Rae. Do you love him any less now that you know he's not your father?
Skye: Of course not.
Michael: Then it shouldn't really surprise you that he feels the same way afterall you had two years to come to love each other.
Skye: Yeah you're right...I'm just glad that I didn't lose him, he's helped me through some tough times.
Michael: I'm so glad he was there for you.
Skye: But enough about me...So how was work?
Michael: Very productive, we were able to gather some very important intel for an upcoming case. We should be able to confirmed the intel by tomorrow afternoon which is well ahead of schedule.
Skye: That's great.
Michael: Yeah but it also means I'll probably have to go out of town for a couple days. I don't want to leave you alone but...
Skye: It's okay, I'll be fine...
(They're finished eating so Skye starts to clean up but Michael stops her.)
Michael: I know you will...You got supper ready I'll clean up.. (Skye nods and then begins to leave when Michael's voice stops her.) Instead of staying in again tonight why don't we go to a movie?
Skye: Sounds good to me, I'll go get the paper and see what's playing.
(She leaves and Michael finishes cleaning up the kitchen and then goes into the front room where Skye is.)
Michael: So did you find us a movie?
Skye: Yes. How does Bruce Almighty sound?
Michael: Sounds great, when does it start?
Skye: In forty five minutes.
Michael: Okay lets go.
(They grab their jackets and leave. )
