There was something off about Cave. It bothered her as she made his coffee and plagued her mind as she went about typing up his reports. By time she had to bring him his lunch, she was convinced she had to ask him. It was probably all in her head, the lack of that personal smile in the morning, the quietness on the radio between her desk and his.

No, it was probably all in her head. Not worth worrying about and certainly not worth bothering him over. With a deep breath, Caroline lifted his lunch tray and knocked twice before stepping into his office.

"Here is your lunch, Sir."

I'm sorry. Cave isn't here right now. Could you please leave a message?

"Wow."

Please leave a message after the beep.

"Wooooow."

Beep.

It took all his strength to restrain himself. She still couldn't remember, despite the emotions that lingered.

The full, red, pouting emotions. Cave shook his head a bit, hoping the world would come into focus.

Caroline wiped at her eyes. To be honest that helped alleviate some of the horrible heaviness in her chest. "I should go home. I'm sorry, Sir."

"Caroline, never apologize for anything that isn't your fault. Sets a bad precedent. But if you insist, you can head on home whenever you want."

Cave stood, grabbing his coat.

"You're not mad about that. That kiss are you? It was really inappropriate."

[paysthebills]

"I'm very okay with it. Believe me."

He couldn't stop a leering grin from creeping across his face.

"Er. I mean. If you were okay with it. Of course."

[yessirmrjohnson]

"It helps." She gently took the coat from him. "The headache got better. I'm sure the why will come back to me."

[paysthebills]

"Did it now?"

What the hell am I doing? She doesn't remember...does this count as taking advantage of the situation? What if these emotions are only temporary?

"Why are you taking my coat? Have you changed you mind? feeling well enough to stick around?"

[yessirmrjohnson]

"Just one more? I may be able to get back to work. If you're ok with this. If it's too much to ask, I'm fine with taking the day off."

[paysthebills]

"Well, I mean; I don't see a problem. Why would it be a problem? We're both adults. I mean, the situation warrants some testing, doesn't it?"

He couldn't stop himself from stammering, a red glow clearly visible on his face.
