"Detective! We need to evacuate the venue. Please wait outside, we had set up a waiting area" An officer says, pointing Maggie the way to the exit.
She is here with Alex for their date. Alex has been so excited about this art exhibition about human biology since she knew there will be one holding at the Art museum of National City.
Maggie moves to the exit reluctantly, not knowing if Alex has evacuated yet. She has gone to the washroom before the security alarm went off.
Once Maggie is out of the museum, she grabs her phone out of her back pocket, trying to call Alex and see where she is.
The fact that Alex doesn't pick up has Maggie's heart sank. But she tells herself silently that Alex can handle herself perfectly.
She sits at one of those chairs at the waiting area, fidgeting with her phone.
Moments later, Maggie doesn't know how long, she sees Alex rushes out of the building holding a small girl.
"Alex! Over here!" Maggie yells, waving Alex over.
Alex runs towards Maggie, the girl in her embrace is sporting a clearly pained expression.
"Here. Take my seat" Maggie knows her wife too well, she can tell that Alex is looking for somewhere to put the girls down just from her frown.
Alex shoots Maggie a grateful smile before gently lowering the girl onto the chair.
It turns out Zoe, the little girl, got lost with her mother during the evacuation and was knocked over by someone rushing past her. She sprained her ankle pretty bad and was crying on the floor when Alex spotted her.
"It's okay Zoe, we're gonna help you find your mommy okay?" Maggie kneels down to meet the eye level of the girl, offering comfort as Alex has run off to the paramedics for some ice packs and bandages.
The little girl nods, tears still in her big brown eyes.
When Alex comes back, there's a worried-looking blonde woman following her.
"Mommy!" Zoe yells, standing up excitedly only to lose her balance due to her injured foot.
Maggie acts quickly to scoop the little girl up, preventing her from falling again.
"Oh my Zoe baby" The woman has tears spilling out of her brown eyes -Maggie wonders that's where the girl got her eyes- and reaches out to hold her daughter.
"Thank you" The mother says with sincere and gratefulness when Maggie passes the girl into her mother's arms and the duo settles into the chair.
"Here, let me bandage her ankle and you guys are good to go. Just remember to ice it to reduce the swelling when you get back home." Alex kneels down to gently apply the bandage around Zoe's ankle.
The little girl leans to warp her arms around Maggie and Alex, thanking them, before leaving with her mother.
"Well, our dates would never be normal" Maggie teases. They are heading home, hand in hand.
"Well I love our abnormal dates tho" Alex lifts their intertwined hands and presses a kiss to the back of Maggie's.
"You know I'll love everything with you by my side"
"I love you"
