Sunday
I don't know where my plan backfired, or why, but it did. Daniel didn't seem half as broken up by having me avoid him or not speak to him as I had expected. It was slightly difficult though since we work together and we had to talk to each other during missions. But still, he should have been on his knees, begging my forgiveness sometime last week! But no. Irritating man!
So I did the next best thing a girl could do in these circumstances. I casually mentioned Daniel and how badly he had been behaving to all who wanted to listen, and to some that didn't, so to implant suggestions in their unconsciousness for them to help me, and make Daniel see reason.
Sam returned from "Washington" earlier this week and I told her everything that has been going on and when things with Daniel didn't really work out, I tried to enlist her help. Of some reason she was very apprehensive lending me her aid. I tried to persuade her that it was in Daniels best interest to apologize to me. She didn't want to get in the middle she said. Colonel Mitchell was just as stubborn. He thought that Daniel was big enough to decide for himself. The only one actually seemingly interested in helping me was Muscles. However, he offered to ask Daniel about his dreams as the depth of a man is more than the conscious word he can verbalise. That sounded very Frodoian, or something, but I have serious doubts of the ability of a Jaffa to psychoanalyse a human that's died, become an ascended being, then retaken human form, lost all his memories only to get most of them back. Call me crazy, but I turned him down.
My back-up plan seemed to be more effective though than I had anticipated. Yesterday Daniel even said good morning when we sat down for a briefing, all by himself! Although I'm not completely sure it was directed to me, specifically. General Landry was standing behind me. At lunch though, he also sat down at the table where I was sitting with Sam and Mitchell. He didn't say much, just something about a book. I tuned out. He did look tired though. I don't think he understood how much he actually missed me. Yet.
Because, when I returned to my quarters after lunch today, I found a flower on my bed. I immediately realised who it was from. Someone had finally come to his senses! He's not really good with words sometimes, so, I just knew that this was Daniel's way of apologizing. I decided to do the honourable thing and offer my apologies also, as a token of respect, since I really have nothing to be sorry about. But, you know Daniel; a stickler for rules, so I knew he would appreciate it.
I found him sitting at his desk in his office; he looked really surprised to see me. I think I definitely could detect a smile behind his hopeful expression though. I even think I could see his eyes sparkle, or was he actually tearing up?! Although, that could have been a reflction in his glasses as well. Anyway, I made my way over to him and sat down in his lap and gave him a warm hug, long overdue. I said with my most sincere voice that I was sorry the mean women wanted to take his pants off because he had no eyebrows. Which, I might add, actually have started to grow back rather nicely. He looked like my Daniel again. Then I gave him a big kiss on the cheek. I was aiming for his lips, but he unfortunately turned his head. Bugger. I knew I had embarrassed him slightly as he brushed me off and rose. I thanked him for the flower, said it had been really sweet, and asked if I could loan some books to press it with. He looked rather puzzled at me as if he didn't know what I was talking about. I never really knew he could be such a good liar, but he couldn't fool me. I'm sure the only reason why he looked so surprised was because I asked to borrow some books.
Although, I'm not sure what he was muttering about though, that certain people should mind their own business. But, since I got the distinct feeling that he wasn't talking about me, I can't say that I was paying much attention to his rambling. Who cares? All things are well at the SGC again =)
Dinner time. I should probably go see if Daniel wants some company.
