A/N: Bah. My brain has given me nothing when it comes to writing. So, here's the only thing I could come up with. Please don't hate me.

Word Count: 155

Summary: "Except for this case."

"Dark or light?" Alex inquired as she and her partner sat on opposite sides of the couch, each with a beer in hand, gaze trained upon the TV in front of them where some documentary was playing. Their case files were spread all across Goren's coffee table.

"I can't choose one or the other." He answered, shaking his head and taking a swig of beer. "Because without dark, there is no light and without light there is no dark. Without the other, the first wouldn't exist because there wouldn't be anything to compare it to."

Eames fell silent, watching her partner, before smiling.

"You have an answer for everything don't you."

"Except for this case."

"You'll get it Bobby, you always do." Eames commented, smiling.

There was a moment of silence, before Bobby finally spoke again.

"Thanks for always having faith in me, Alex." This brought a smile to his partner's face.

"Anytime, Bobby, anytime."
