Your big heart and loving support are constant inspirations to me. Thank you for always leading by example.
Tim stood in the doorway, thankfully unnoticed by the occupant of the lab. It was nice to observe Abby when she thought she was alone.
She was dancing along to the music emanating from her speakers, whirling Bert around the lab. She was lost in her own world, oblivious to everything else. It was oddly comforting.
She was a role model to him, in a strange way. Her big heart was something he adored. If she could love and accept everyone, why couldn't he? Although he had long since accepted that Abby was not a normal person.
Who else forgave people in the blink of an eye? Who else was always there when someone needed support, from Ziva to Gibbs? Who else would dare to hug everyone, including an irate Director?
She could listen to anyone talking about anything. Even Ducky's stories did not send her to sleep; she wanted to listen through to the end. Ziva would vent her fury with the Goth at hand. And whenever McGee needed to talk, he knew where he could find a willing ear.
Abby turned around unexpectedly and caught sight of him. Grinning widely, she waved him into her domain. "Timmy!" she squealed, launching herself at him. "To what do I owe this pleasure?"
