It's nearing the end of the day and a subdued Abby has been in her lab all day. No more words about the party anywhere. I don't think that she's been in the mood for celebrating. But maybe she's decided to make contact with others again. Tim's phone just buzzed.

Text Message:
Recipients: Tim McGee, Abby Scuito
Abby: Timmy, you there?
Tim: Yeah, just getting ready to go.
Abby: Can I go with you?
Tim: Of course, but why?
Abby: Gibbs caught me earlier.
Tim: Oh, dear.
Abby: Yeah.
Tim: You okay?
Abby: Depends.
Tim: Was he hard on you?
Abby: He made me write out lines.
Tim: That's not too bad.
Abby: But I don't like writing lines.
Tim: Abby, you didn't...
Abby: Yes, I did. Gibbs said that I was being sassy and pushed him too far. Plus, I had too much sugar.
Tim: You deserved it.
Abby: Who's side are you on?
Tim: I'm not on anyone's side.
Abby: Sorry, I'm just cranky from not being able to sit still all day.
Tim: It's okay. Come on, I'll meet you at the elevator and we'll get some ice cream before I take you home.
Abby: And frozen peas?
Tim: Seriously, Abby? I think that you earned any discomfort.
Abby: Pretty please?
Tim: We'll see.
Abby: With a cherry and sprinkles on top?
Tim: Come on, Abby, let's go.

Tomorrow's Valentine's Day! I wonder if Tony and Ziva's date will be the only excitement - or will there be more?
Sleep well. I have a feeling we'll need energy for the morning!
