"So…was it worth it?" Kalinda asks, her voice low and tinged with amusement as they step off the elevator and into the Lockhart-Gardner reception area.

"Worth the humiliation of having my sex life discussed in open court?" Diane replies, trying to contain a smile even as her cheeks flame red.

Kalinda nods, not even attempting to supress her own grin.

She pauses, as if in consideration, but there really is only one answer. "Oh yeah."

A throat clears from somewhere behind her and she turns to discover Kurt slouching against the wall by the reception desk. "Hey," he greets her with a slight nod.

"Oh. Hello. How long have you been standing there?" she asks, delight at his presence warring with embarrassment over what he has probably just overheard.

"Long enough," he says with a little smirk that tells her he most certainly has overheard. "Got a minute?" he asks.

"Of course," she says, nodding to Kalinda, who quickly disappears. "Come to my office."

His hand grazes her elbow as they walk and he tips his head close to hers.

"So what, specifically," he asks quietly, "made it worth it? So I can be sure to do it again."
