Ryan: "Knock, knock." she smiles, leaning against the doorway to Matt's office
Matt: "Hey. How'd it go?"
Ryan: "Well, let's see he only cried for about an hour."
Matt: "Impressive."
Ryan: "Yeah. He would've gone longer but stopped when I mentioned food."
Matt: "Like mother like son, huh?"
Ryan: "Oh, yeah" she hums, glancing around the hall before stepping into his office, holding out a shirt "Your, uh, shirt that you gave me to wear home. Washed it for you."
Matt: "You didn't have to do that."
Ryan: "Common courtesy. We agreed that what happened wasn't gonna change anything between us. We're friends and if a friend lent me a shirt, I would wash it."
Matt: "Fair enough."
Ryan: "Oh, and speaking of which...here we are."
Matt: "What's this?"
Ryan: "Ran into the lawyer at the coffee shop. He was gonna mail it in but figured he'd save himself the trip" she shrugs "Also deemed us as one of the easiest divorces he's had so, you know, yay us." she smiles, clicking his tongue
Matt: "Guess it's official now, huh?"
Ryan: "Yeah it is."
Matt: "You still gonna go with SC or should we find a new nickname for you?"
Ryan: "Why wouldn't I still go by SC?" she furrows her brows, making his eyes widen for a moment
Matt: "I just assumed that you'd wanna go back to Severide." he shrugs
Ryan: "Honestly hadn't thought about that. Feels like I've had Casey for all my life" she hums "Would...would it bother you?"
Matt: "What?"
Ryan: "If I didn't go back to Severide? If I kept Casey?"
Matt: "No. No. Wouldn't bother me at all."
Ryan: "Well, alright then. See you later, Mr. Casey."
Matt: "Ms. Casey." he nods, watching her walk out the room with a soft smile on his face

Boden: "Peter Mills, are you ready to work Squad?"
Mills: "Of course. Medical cleared me, so..."
Boden: "So gear up, then."
Mills: "Today?"
Boden: "Yes, today. With Severide out on medical, SC is stepping up into acting Lieutenant. Therefore I have a spot to fill."
Mills: "Oh, wow. Uh, wait. Who's coming in to ride with Brett?"
Boden: "I have a relief medical, you in or you out?"
Mills: "Oh, I'm in. I am totally in."
Ryan: "Grab your gear, Mills."
Mills: "Yeah." he excitedly cheers, rushing off as Ryan and Boden shake their heads in amusement

Brett: "Hey, what do you guys know about Erik McAuley?" she questions, entering the common room as the group groans
Hermann: "McAuley the paramedic. He's the worst. Mr. Doom-and-Gloom."
Cruz: "Total bummer. Why?"
Brett: "Since Mills is working Squad, McAuley's gonna relieve him on ambo."
