:oP NeverMind
He listened as the door closed behind her. He fingered her business card, his mind racing over everything she'd said.
Then he decided. He got up and headed downstairs. He asked in the lobby where she had parked and headed down to the parkade. He jogged towards her spot. She was just putting her briefcase in the backseat.
"Lita," he said when he was a few strides away from her. She turned to face him and he caught her up and kissed her – hard and deep.
"I haven't been kissed like that in a long time," she said when they'd pulled away.
"I don't deserve you," he told her, caressing her hair.
She chuckled. "Whoever said anything about you needing to 'deserve' me?" she asked.
"No one but me," he told her, kissing her gently.
"Exactly." She relaxed into their embrace. "When are you off?" she asked into his shoulder.
"8:00."
"My address is on the back of that card," she said. "I'll see you later?"
He nodded. "Couldn't keep me away."
"No one had better – they don't want to mess with me!"
Danny chuckled. "Mob princess," he accused her softly.
"Boyfriend of a mob princess," she countered with a sly look. "Go back to work."
Epilogue
When Danny got back to work after the weekend, Aiden was already there, trying to catch up on cases that had gotten behind when they were short staffed.
"You look happy," she commented as he put on his white lab coat.
He just shrugged. "I am happy."
"You know, Messer, I hate to say it, but love looks good on you," Aiden teased.
He looked over his glasses at her grinning mischievously at him and shook his head. "Thank you. Can we get back to work now?"
