Oh yeah, definitely. She's entirely too annoyingly persistent for her own good. And yours too, I suppose.

[She knows that she went to Chicago and dragged him back, and reached out with the case with Simon, but he's also come back too. In some ways, the two of them are just on a rubber band that they keep stretching out onto to be drawn back together.]

So, love, are you done with work?

[nobasisinfact]

There have been occasions when I'd have preferred to walk away.

[Hey, she knows it's true.]

And I am.

[11calls]

Well, you're glad you didn't though, right?

[Alex sounds fairly confident about that, considering everything. But she doesn't think that the two of them would have been able to walk away for long.]

[nobasisinfact]

There is a strong case for it being beneficial.

[11calls]

[The way he phrased it made Alex grin, because it couldn't not.]

Well, I'm always glad to offer you more data-based evidence to strengthen that case, my love.

[nobasisinfact]

That's very accommodating.

[11calls]

Well, I do try and be.

[A grin.]

Most of the time anyway...

[Before she draws away, wrapping her hand with his.]

Shall we go home, my love?

[nobasisinfact]

The day you're actually accommodating is the day I believe in this demon nonsense.

[He curls his fingers around hers, pushing off from the desk.]

I do have to cook for Simon and Stan.

[11calls]

Hey, I would say I can be pretty accommodating in some things, Richard. Just not in the ones you'd prefer me to be in.

[Like that whole not telling anyone about stuff thing. And that not believing in demons thing. And the not being annoying thing. But those are all things that make Alex Alex so there's that.

And she nods before she counters:]

Or there's pizza. Pizza never hurt anyone, and we can get it cheese for Stan.

[nobasisinfact]

I've yet to find a way. And cheese pizza isn't kosher.

[11calls]

[Alex looked amused because well, he wasn't going to find a way.]

Okay, well, after dinner then.

[nobasisinfact]

[He didn't recall her saying anything specific about before or after dinner, so he offers her a confused loom.]

[11calls]

[Alex is just going to wait for his lovely big brain to catch up to the makeup sex part of this whole thing with a smirk.]

[nobasisinfact]

[He's going to raise a brow. Stan and Simon might wonder about them disappearing after dinner, besides, the window for make-up sex has passed.]

[11calls]

[And Alex is going to roll her eyes.]

See, this is why restrictions on sex in your office suck.

[nobasisinfact]

I'd rather not have sex than have one of my coworkers walk in while we're in the middle of being, intimate.

[11calls]

You underestimate me and a locked door, Richard.

[Alex is just going to be over here and amused at this.]

[nobasisinfact]

No. I know how loud you can be and how thin the walls are.

[He'll just be over here quipping at her noise levels]

[11calls]

I can be quiet.

[Is that a dare in her eyes, Richard? Oh yeah, it totally is.]

[nobasisinfact]

[He lets out a puff of a short laugh.]

With a gag in your mouth, and even then is debatable.

[11calls]

I admit, my soundproof office is probably better than this is, but I can definitely be quiet, Richard.

[She's just going to watch him entirely amused.]

[nobasisinfact]

[Instead of continuing the argument he just lets out another puff of air before turning to the door.]

[11calls]

Fine, fine, fine.

[The words are said as she grabs her back off the floor, and then moves to catch his hand with hers.]

[nobasisinfact]

[He lets her slide her hand into his and wraps his fingers between hers, drawing the hands up to his lips and lightly kissing the back of her hand.]

[11calls]

[Alex just beams at him for a minute before she leans over and kisses him softly.]

I do love you, you know.
