"so, these are the letters?" Tim asks, looking at the two letters that Ana has received so far.
"I got this one yesterday and then this one today" Ana says, softly, curled up by his side on the couch.
"after Elijah showed up?" Tim questions.
"while he was here, there was a knock at the door and Elijah left by the time I had answered the door" Ana explains, softly.
"Fire" Tim reads aloud the little note at the bottom of the first letter.
"I didn't think anything of it at first, but then I heard about the serial arsonist from Nolan" Ana explains, softly.
"yeah, I don't like it" Tim agrees.
"what do you think I should do?" Ana asks, softly.
"we're not going to tell anyone, not yet at least" Tim starts. "I don't know what the hell Wesley has gotten himself into and I don't trust Elijah as far as I can throw him. We don't know if he's targeting you or not"
"so if we tell Grey, he might tell Angela who'll tell Wesley who'll tell Elijah that we're onto him?" Ana realizes, softly.
"exactly" Tim nods. "but I do want to install a new security system in your apartment, I don't like how Elijah was waiting for you to get home and knew about Tamara and Lucy's whereabouts."
"okay" Ana agrees, softly.
"how are you feeling about all of this?" Tim wonders, putting the letters down and turning to face her.
"I'm a little scared" Ana admits, softly. "but I also... I don't know how to feel about Wesley being a dirty lawyer"
"we don't know if he is" Tim assures her.
"Elijah said he was" Ana argues, softly.
"and we don't know if everything Elijah said was a bunch of bullshit or not" Tim points out.
Ana nods, realizing that he's right.
"I also want Moose to move back in with you" Tim adds.
"why? Is he being a buttface again?" Ana frowns, knowing that Moose can be a brat when he wants to be.
"no, he's not" Tim chuckles. "I just like the idea of an animal in the house who will make noise if something weird is happening"
Ana nods, realizing what he's saying.
"thank you" Ana says, softly.
"you're welcome, and thank you for coming to me about all of this" Tim replies, cupping her face in his hands before kissing her forehead.
Ana smiles, melting into him.

"Wait, she did, what?" Ana asks, her jaw dropping.
"She pre-paid for me to have my eggs frozen at a fertility clinic." Lucy repeats.
"She's been ignoring you for who knows how long" Ana sighs.
"She's definitely not ignoring me now. Seriously, what makes her think she has the right?" Lucy groans.
"I'm so sorry" Ana apologizes, softly, hugging her.
"I'm just annoyed" Lucy answers.
"we can go paintballing tonight with Tim, that always helps you get your anger out" Ana suggests, softly.
"I like the idea of that" Lucy nods.

"All right. Nolan... Can you tell me what today is and what "ACH" stands for?" Grey asks, starting roll call.
