"Next year at the same time?"

Gibbs smiled to hear him say that. A slight smile, almost imperceptible for which there were very attentive and knew the reason for this gesture. Before he left, he offered one last gift.

"Borin ... thanks!" - And stayed to see her leave, still smiling.

several hours had passed since that. Gibbs walked tinkering in the living room when he heard the door.

"You're late" - said without even turned to see who it was.

"Change me to Omagi McGee and I promise that next time I'll be on time" - she replied in a tone of exasperation.

"No knock on my computer. You know the deal" - approached her, kissed her on the cheek and gave her a beer Borin gladly accepted.

"Sure, it's easy for you say. It's one of your kids "- he said sitting comfortably on the couch.

Over time, the evening went to his house. More comfort and less people. Sometimes they talked, discussed other and others were just as now, quietly enjoying each other's company. Even a couple of times, had ended in the bedroom. Neither was it clear that even meant for each other. But one thing was certain: Abigail Borin was not going to get rid of him so easily.

FIN.
