Callen

I don’t know if that’s a good idea, Cait.

Caitlin

Nothing about you is a good idea. But sometimes we have to be adults.

Be a fucking adult and be home after five, Callen.

Isit in my gynecologist’s office, pissed at the world in an uncomfortable pink paper gown and what equates to an outdoor tablecloth covering my legs.

My feet dangle off the table, and I’m freezing.
