Open Case File [COMPLETED]

Carter and Donovan Answer Round Two of Questions

Surprisingly, I was able to convince Carter and Donovan to do another round of questions! It's amazing I've survived!

***********************************

Carter glares at me from where she sits, Donovan right beside her but definitely less threatening. I smile but that seems to only manage to make her look more angry.

"Thanks for coming back," I say.

Ignoring me, Carter looks to Donovan.

"Why are we here?" she asks.

"Because for some reason this made a lot of people happy and it has been a rough time, I think we should think of them," Donovan says.

"Yes, but thinking of them thinking of me pisses me off and so I ask you again why are we here?"

"Carter," Donovan says.

That's it, that's all he says, her name yet it has a magical power about it because the glare goes away. Wow! To be able to have that power.

She looks back at me but still doesn't seem too thrilled but she's still sitting there and not killing me so I take this as a win!

"Let's get this over with. No inappropriate questions this time."

"Fair enough. Same rules, just point to the person in answer."

I wiggle in my seat nearly bursting with excitement over a second round of questions. Carter narrows her eyes at me and I still. Best not to poke the angry tiger.

"Okay, who apologizes first after a fight?"

They both look at each other then point.

"Carter, what are you talking about, you always apologize first."

"No, you do. I'm stubborn remember."

He cups her face, looking at her tenderly.

"In a lot of areas yes, but this one you're pretty amazing."

She rolls her eyes but not before I spot a hint of a smile.

"Who is the funny one?"

Carter's grin is quick as she points to herself and Donovan points to her as well.

"Though I can be funny too," he says.

"Rarely. I can't remember that last time you made a joke."

"Last night, you laughed."

"I don't remember that." She shakes her head. "Nope, I don't think you're funny."

Donovan reaches for her and Carter squeaks out a laugh.

Oh my gosh! Carter is ticklish! Since when and how did I not know this?! Of course, Donovan would be the one to discover this.

"Donovan! Stop!"

She laughs again and tries to hit his hand away.

"I don't know," he says. "I think this is pretty hilarious."

She jerks out of reach, breathless and smiling.

"Tickling me is not the same as being funny, just concede to this."

"Fine. I'm not as funny as you."

"Thank you."

She shifts back in her chair and Donovan tickles her one last time before looking at me like nothing happened.

"Who is more romantic?"

"Easy," Carter says, pointing to Donovan as he points to himself.

I smile invitingly. "Want to expand on that?"
