Kathy pulled into the driveway of the house she shared with Elliot. She felt slightly guilty for cheating on him, but hey he always told her he wanted her to be happy. So she wasn't wrong for pursuing another relationship. Was she?
In Kathys' mind she was justified in her cheating because she was happy.
"Elliot", Kathy called as she walked into the house.
"In the bedroom." He called back.
She walked to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water and made her way up the stairs. Once upstairs she took a deep breath and tried to calm her nerves before entering the bedroom where Elliot was.
"Hey baby" Elliot said as he lent in towards his wife to kiss her. She returned his kiss with a quick peck. He looked at her to see if he could find any signs of her being upset but he found none.
"Kathy did you change your perfume?" he had almost forgot to ask her but he remembered when he smelt that new scent again after leaning in to kiss her.
She snapped her head up to look at him, why would he ask now she had changed the perfume three months ago a week after she began her affair.
"What makes you ask that?" she asked while trying to help sort their laundry.
"Kathy you make think that I'm never paying attention but I am I know that since we started dating in high school you always wore a gardenia scent, however lately you smell like strawberries, so I just wanted to know if you changed it."
Breathing a sigh of relief Kathy turned to him and rubbed his arms as she said, "Well babe I just thought I should try something new and the strawberry smells really good, don't you think?"
"Yeah it does."
"Good now lets finish this laundry its almost time to pick Eli up from daycare."
Munch met up with Fin and Casey at the diner down the street from the precinct.
"Old man what took you so long?" Fin asked as Munch sat down in his seat.
"I had to see someone earlier." It was clear he wanted to keep it private and didn't care to elaborate.
"Was it a woman?" Casey asked in a child-like sing-song voice.
"So what if it was." Munch was a little annoyed he tried to keep his personal life to himself.
"Sorry." Casey said feeling a little bad for being intrusive.
"No Casey, I'm sorry its just that I don't want to jinx this I really like this woman, and I don't want anything to go wrong." he looked at them with a smirk.
"Aw man, I'm happy for you partner."
