A/N: Pretty self explanatory really


3. 86'd

What Daniel really wanted to know about was Kate's apparent crush on him during her student days. Instead he found himself getting pulled out of the bar by his scarf and getting details about Kate's soon to be ex-husband. It left an odd taste in his mouth and a funny feeling in his gut at the same time.

In all the years that he had known her, the thought that she would find someone else had never entered his mind. Admittedly he had never really allowed himself to really think about her in that way, what with his diagnosis and then her being his student, then co-worker, then her being on the other side of the county getting in the way. Not really the most ideal of situations, even for those sound of mind.

The fact that she had been married once brought the thought that he could be seeing her in a personal sense rather than a professional one to the forefront of his mind. The funny feeling was back in his gut and he made the executive decision to think about all the possibilities that thought presented at a later date, preferably with Natalie around to talk some sense into him. Instead he concentrated on Lacy Penderholt and the conundrum she presented him.

(Turns out Natalie was not much help when discussing Kate, she was under the impression that he should ask her out).
