Danny got up from the couch when he heard the door open.
"Where the hell were you?" He asked as she came through the door.
"I'm an adult I can go out." Lindsay pointed out
Danny looked at her.
"What?" She asked.
Danny stepped up and kissed her. Lindsay felt the anger drain from her body.
"What was that for?" She inquired as she stepped into the kitchen and set the bag she had been carrying on the counter.
"Do you know how worried I was?" Danny asked. "I had Flack run down Jenna to make sure she had done something to you. I called everyone we know and I even had Stella remotely switch on your cell phone."
"I know I spoke to her a few minutes ago." Lindsay grabbed some plates from the cupboard.
"Where the hell were you?"
"The court house. I had to switch my cell phone off while I was in court."
"I thought the jury only went out this afternoon." Danny questioned.
"I've been here long enough to have friends in the DA's office. I had to wait for one of them to finish up."
"Why?"
"Because you wouldn't tell me why you filed for a restraining order, so I went and saw the original paperwork and supporting evidence myself."
"That's where you've been for the past three hours?"
"I went and got coffee with Rebecca and then I spent thirty minutes stood getting dinner." She took the cutlery bag and plates and carried them passed him to the coffee table. "You'd better sit down if you're hungry."
Lindsay started taking the take-out she'd brought and setting it on the table.
"Did I miss something?" Danny asked a little confused.
"I get why you were trying to keep things from me. I'm still mad that you lied to me and got everyone else to lie to me." Lindsay replied. "But I understand why on some level."
"Okay." Danny replied hesitantly.
"It's going to get cold if you don't sit down."
"I'm still confused."
"Look we're going to eat, we're going to have discussion about why it is a lousy idea to lie to me and you're going to promise to never do it again even if it's for my own good."
Danny sat down next her.
"Sounds like a plan. What did you get?"
"Mexican." She replied.
"Mexican?" He questioned.
"It's what I felt like eating."
"Okay." He didn't want to argue more than necessary.
"You know Danny there is an upside to arguing." Lindsay told him.
"There is?"
"Make up sex."
"I thought I was sleeping on the couch and you're talking about make up sex?" Danny was even more confused.
"I was mad at you; I wasn't going to make you sleep on the couch. Besides which I'm kind of use to sleeping on you."
"Just out of curiosity can we skip the lecture on never lying to you if I agree to never do it again even if it's for your own good and skip the make up sex part?" Danny asked.
"No." Lindsay replied. "We stick to the schedule."
"I'm sorry ya know."
"I know. Eat." She prompted.
"Women are illogical." He stated.
"Women aren't illogical; you just don't understand the logic. Pass the chilli cheese fries."
"There are chilli cheese fries?" Danny questioned looking in the bag.
"Of course."
"I love chilli cheese fries." Danny remarked emphatically.
"I know. But you also like meal worm spaghetti." She pointed out as she took a fry. "And that's a guy thing."
"Liking chilli cheese fries?" Danny questioned.
"Getting distracted by food. I'm going to grab a soda, do you want one?"
"Sure."
