Lindsay was the first to wake up the next morning.
Danny was lying face down next to her, his arm slung across her waist. Lindsay managed to extricate herself.
Using her crutches she went to the kitchen and got a glass of water. She also grabbed a trash bag and some tape.
Lindsay went back to the bedroom.
"Hey Danny time to wake up."
"It's too early." Danny stuffed his head under the pillow.
"You have to be at work in an hour."
"The alarm didn't go off." He muttered from under the pillow.
"I forgot to set it and I didn't really have to get up right now." Lindsay pointed.
"Okay. I'm up."
"Good. I need you to take this around my foot." She dropped the trash bag and tape on the bed.
"What?" Danny yawned.
"I want to take a shower and I can't get my cast wet. I need to wash my hair."
"I can help you with that."
"What?"
"Washing your hair."
"Danny I have to stand on one foot as it is." Lindsay stated.
"Exactly. You'll need a hand to balance and I have to get to work so we can save water and time and…"
"You can get your hands on me." Lindsay finished for him.
"That could be a mutually beneficial agreement." Danny pointed.
"Okay, but help me with the trash bag first."
Danny crawled over and kissed her.
"Morning."
"Good morning to you too." Lindsay smiled.

"Door to door service." Flack joked as held open Lindsay's front door for her.
"Thank you for taking me to the hospital."
"It's easier than trying to hail a cab with those things, trust me I've tried it."
"Do you want a drink or something?" Lindsay offered.
"Why don't I get it and you sit down?" Flack suggested.
"Thanks." Lindsay went and sat on the couch.
Flack brought her a drink and sat down to drink his.
"So what do you have planned for the rest of your day off?" Lindsay inquired.
"This is my first day off in two weeks, and taking you to the hospital was pretty much the extent of my plans." Flack admitted.
"If you don't have anywhere to be do you want to stick around and keep me company?" Lindsay offered.
"I ain't got nothing better to do."
"And you can hang my pictures for me."
"Ah that's why you want me to stick around." Flack realised.
"Actually I was going to say I'd buy you lunch at this great place about a block from here. I can get Danny to do it."
"No I can wield a hammer with the best of them."
"It's in the red tool box in the closet."
"You have a tool box?" Flack questioned.
"I'm a CSI; I can take a patrol car to pieces and put it back together. I actually did that once."
"You took a patrol car to pieces?"
"Back in Bozeman, it was a charity thing to raise money for the benevolent fund. The cops challenged the local mechanics to see who could take a patrol car to pieces and then put it back together in the quickest time. We won." Lindsay explained.
"Why would you do that?" Flack asked.
"They had a bake off against the fire department and someone thought a bigger challenge was necessary."
"So taking apart patrol cars seemed like a good idea. I see the logic."
"It wasn't my idea." Lindsay shrugged. "Although I think I remember someone suggesting foam wrestling."
"Now that's an idea I can get behind."
"There were only four women in the department." Lindsay stated. "And I think Penny was pregnant at the time. The idea got dropped when we refused to take part in it."
