- Oh my… I'll die of an overdose of happiness... – Myles sighed, when he looked at the door. Randy was standing there, his face red of anger, as usual.

- What is this??? – he shouted, holding a sheet of paper in his hand.

- The report you asked for...? - Myles replied with an innocent look.

- You call this a report??!! This isn't a report, this is... this is... rubbish!!! Take a look at how it looks like!!!

- You told us to take it out of the goat's stomach... and we did just that. Oh and by the way, those marks on it were caused by the crocodile, and that coffee stain, by the bird... So that you can see that we did everything to get that report back. But you didn't say it should look nice, just that it should be on your table in the morning! It was... And as you know, we are always happy to do whatever you tell us… - Bobby said.

- When I said the report should be on my table in the morning, I didn't mean it should look like something which has just survived a war!!!

- Do you want to read it or eat from it? – Myles broke out.

Randy's face became even redder. – I don't have time to deal with your idiotic jokes! – he grumbled angrily, then stormed out of the bullpen. The team could hardly hold laughing back, while Randy was raging in the office, but as soon as he was outside of earshot, everyone burst out in laughter.

- Sue… Do you have time now? We have to talk… - Jack said, stepping near the woman's desk.

- Sure – Sue nodded. She had been waiting for this moment ever since Myles interrupted their conversation a few days ago.

Despite winter, weather was pleasant in the park, it looked that several people found this suitable for an afternoon walk. Fresh snow crunched softly under their soles, while they were walking silently beside each other, watching the white land, thinking of how they should start the conversation they had been waiting for so long.

- When Myles interrupted our conversation, I wanted to tell you something really important… - Jack began finally. He had been waiting for nothing else for days than to talk to Sue, to let her know what he wanted to tell her days ago… And at last he was standing beside her again, hoping that this time nobody will interrupt the conversation.

- Sue…you can't imagine how glad I am that you eventually decided to stay. Since you have been here with us in Washington, you became an indispensable part of the team, and… without you, the gang wouldn't be the same. We all would have terribly missed you if you left… Since you entered our life, all of us became better people, and this is only due to you.

- I'm happy as well that I decided to stay… That job would have undoubtedly been really exciting and a great step forward in my career, but I would have to live far from the city I love so much… and all of you, my friends…I would have awfully missed you all, it would have been extremely hard without you.

- When I learnt that you may leave the team…

- I'm so sorry for not telling you… - Sue interrupted him. – I wanted you to learn that from me, but the man who offered the promotion made me promise that it would remain a secret for the time being… But you know Lucy, I cannot keep anything a secret, because she somehow realizes that I am hiding something from her… so I had to tell her.

The man nodded understanding and for a few seconds, they continued their walk in silence.

- If you had taken that job, I don't know how I could have born that… - Jack admitted. - You mean a lot to me, Sue…

- You mean a lot to me as well, Jack… - the woman replied, looking into his eyes. Sue didn't know what made her do this, but suddenly she leaned closer to the man and placed a light kiss on his mouth. It only lasted for a thousandth of a second, but by the time Jack recovered from amazement, Sue had already walked further. Jack smiled, followed the woman, and they continued walking with his arms on her shoulder. For an outside onlooker, they seemed a couple deeply in love with each other.
