The 23rd (One day until Take Your Child to Work Day)

"How are you feeling today, Anthony?"

"Better, Duck."

The team was sitting in the squad room along with Abby and Ducky. Kate was currently ignoring Tony and not taking part in the conversation.

"What were you dreaming about yesterday that got you so upset?" Abby wondered.

This got Kate intrigued. She looked up from her work and waited for Tony's response.

"I don't want to talk about it," he mumbled.

Kate typed an email to Tony. His computer made a little noise and Tony checked his mail. The email said:

What was going on with you last night? Does it have something to do with that dream? You know you can tell me.

Kate

He responded:

I'm sorry for last night. I'll make it up to you. Thanks for the soup. And yes, last night had something to with that dream. But I'll tell you when I'm ready. Just not yet. Let's go out for lunch. But we're not taking McGee this time.

Kate read his response. They looked at each other and she just laughed.

Kate and Tony were sitting at a little bistro outside of the Navy Yard.

"So, I'm going to assume that you're feeling better, since you ate everything," Kate said.

"I'm feeling much better. You gonna finish that?"

Kate laughed and passed her sandwich over to Tony.

"You know, you can tell me...about the dream. I'm not gonna be mad."

"Yes, you will," Tony said through a mouthful of food.

"Try me," Kate challenged.

"Nope, maybe later."

"Ready for tomorrow, peanut?" Tony asked Kit as he folded some clothes.

"Yeah! I'm excited!"

"Good. I'm excited too."

Sorry that this one was so short. The next one will be longer, I promise.
