"What were your big plans for the night, Tony?" Ziva's voice echoed off the entry way walls. She tugged her jacket off and managed to remove her scarf, placing both on the hook that had somehow been designated 'hers' by frequent use.

Tony's items had been haphazardly flung on bench in the entry way and Ziva rolled her eyes as she picked up the jacket and scarf and hung them up for him. She was not surprised by his careless habits and she knew from experience that after a few minutes in his house decompressing, he would wander back to the coat-hooks and hang up his things properly.

"Doesn't matter," he muttered, heading to the bedroom. He tugged his sweater over his head as he walked.

"It does!" she said. "Did we have plans and I forgot?"

"Nope," Tony replied. He undid the buttons on his shirt, his tie having already been shed and draped around one of the bed posts. "You didn't forget anything."

Ziva slid between the bed and him, gently working on the buttons on his shirt from the bottom up. When their hands met, she covered his fingers with her own. "If it does not matter, Tony, why are you so upset?"

He closed his eyes briefly to still his thoughts before he leaned down and kissed her forehead gently. "I had a great time watching movies with my family tonight. Its fine."

"Obviously it is not 'fine'," she mocked gently.

"Ziva," he merely stated her name, using it as a stopping point for the circular conversation. Tony squeezed her fingers lightly as he stepped away. "Go take a shower. I'll start dinner."

Ziva was a trained assassin, a trained investigator and a fantastic judge of people. She knew he wasn't budging on this topic until he was well and ready. Despite that, she couldn't keep the small frown from creasing her forehead as she stepped into his bathroom.

When the water started to run and Tony heard her typical singing fill the bathroom he sat on the edge of the bed in a boneless flop. He managed to scrub his face in his hands in his typical expression of frustration and groaned into his palms.

"This day did not go how I planned."
