"You said she wasn't going to be here!" Tim yelled. "And you said you were in New Orleans!"
"Well you said you were in Syracuse!" Calleigh exclaimed. "Maybe if you stuck to what you..."
"Excuse me for coming when Horatio needed me! Don't see why the hell he would need you though."
"Well I see your charm hasn't disappeared over the past twelve years Tim."
"And I see you're still as bitchy as ever Calleigh."
"Can I say something?" Horatio asked. "Calleigh moved back here six years ago. Okay? Speed, my trace expert left and I needed someone good, someone I could trust. I called you."
"Horatio..."
"Look, I don't know what went wrong between you two but you're working together again so get over it." he said. Outside of the office, Kelly and Christine were staring at each other. The door opened and Calleigh and Tim tried to get out at the same time. They both stepped away and then got stuck again. Calleigh finally let Tim go, who grabbed Christine.
"Come on."
"Kelly, let's go. Go get your things." Calleigh said, a strained tone in her voice. As luck may have it, the four of them got stuck in the same elevator ride.
"Um... Dad?" Christine winced as Tim tightened his grip on her shoulders. "You gotta loosen up a bit."
"Pardon?"
"My shoulders, not your attitude."
"Nice manners you taught your kid Speedle." Calleigh muttered.
"She's just like her mother." Tim smiled. Calleigh glared at him.
"Now I would never know that." Christine said loudly. The elevator doors opened and the four got out.
"Go to the car." Calleigh and Tim said in unison. Their kids looked at them. "Now!"
The identical girls went to their separate cars and Calleigh turned to Tim. He couldn't fight the smirk off his face. She was trying to be all tough and stubborn but after all their stupid fights Tim knew she couldn't do much damage.
"You never said anything to her?" Calleigh asked.
"I can see you didn't say anything to Kelly." Tim replied. "So don't hold anything against me. And I think they kind of figured it out."
"Yeah well we'd never have to go through this if you didn't come back."
"I'm sorry. I never thought that you'd be back here. Thanks for telling me about that too."
"I'm sorry. I didn't know I had to keep you informed of my life. We decided..."
"No. We didn't decide anything. You decided. You decided to up and leave. You decided to send me divorce papers."
"And you decided to sign them so everything is not my fault." Calleigh hissed. "I'll see you tomorrow at work."

Christine played with her pizza and looked up at Tim, who seemed to be in a daze.
"Dad?"
"What?"
"I don't think I need to ask but I'm gonna anyway. Who was that?"
"Chris..."
"I don't like that you've been hiding things from me for twelve years."
"Then blame your mother." Tim muttered. "You finish unpacking yet?"
"Yeah. Why did she leave?"
"I don't know Christine! Go ask her!"
"Well can you at least tell me something?" she exclaimed.
"Fine! That was your mother and your sister. I don't know why she left. A few months later we left Miami because I couldn't handle being around anything that reminded me of her."
"Then why did we come back here?"
"Because I thought I got over her." Tim mumbled.
