"How's it going?" Stella came into the locker room moments after Lindsay had entered.
"Okay." Lindsay replied.
"Did you hear about…."
"Don came over and brought doughnuts to tell me." Lindsay shut her locker door.
"How are you doing with it?"
"I'm okay." Lindsay replied. "It will be better when they catch the guy."
"Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later." Stella said.
"Yeah." Lindsay paused. "Danny's moving in."
"Wow."
"Yeah." Lindsay sighed.
"You don't want him to?"
"No it's not that. It's just an odd day."
"Whose idea was it?" Stella inquired.
"His lease is up at the end of the month anyway. So he spent ten minutes hinting while I ignored him. It's not like he doesn't live with me anyway. I mean he hasn't slept at his apartment since my parents left. This way he pays half the bills too rather paying for a place he's never at."
"True. When's he moving in?"
"He's going to talk to his landlord and pack up the rest of his clothes since he has the night off." Lindsay closed her locker.
"Hey Lindsay, Stella." Hawkes walked in.
"Hey." Lindsay replied.
"Did you hear…"
"Yeah." Lindsay stopped him. "I have some paperwork to do before I get called anywhere so I'll see you later."
"She okay?" Hawkes asked Stella.
"I think she's a little shaken. Flack took her doughnuts when he went to tell her. She'll be fine."
"Okay."
"Danny's moving in with her."
"That's quick." Hawkes commented.
"Apparently his lease is up and he's never home anyway." Stella shrugged. "Do you want to grab something to eat? I missed lunch?"
"Sure." Hawkes agreed.

"Lindsay." Mac appeared in the doorway to her office.
"Yes I've heard and I'm fine." Lindsay replied.
"It doesn't sound like it."
"People keep asking me if I'm okay." Lindsay sighed. "Sorry."
"You can make an appointment with the department counsellor if you need to." Mac told her.
"I cried on Danny's shoulder, ate too many doughnuts with Flack and now I'm fine."
"Okay. We're here if you want to talk."
"Thanks Mac."
"But since that wasn't why I was here."
"Did you need something?" Lindsay inquired.
"We have a hit and run."
"I'll just save this and grab my kit."

"What did you do to my bedroom?" Lindsay asked when she got home just before 1.
Danny was sat on the bed surrounded by clothes.
"I didn't realise I had quite so many clothes."
"You never realise how much stuff you accumulate until you move."
"There aren't enough hangers." Danny stated.
"Did you bring the ones from your apartment?" Lindsay asked.
"No." He admitted sheepishly.
"Then that might be your problem. You should have just left everything on the hangers and covered it with trash bags. It saves all the effort of having to put things back on hangers or not having enough."
"You couldn't have told me that before?"
Lindsay opened the blanket box which lived at the bottom of her bed and took out the blankets that were inside.
"Put everything in there so we don't fall over it. I'll put these on the couch and then we sort it all out tomorrow when we get back from work."
"Okay. How was work?"
"Fine. I'm going to take a quick shower before bed."
