New Beginnings, Old Tales

9 - Gibbs

As I was setting up my date with Talia, I had decided that it would be on the roof of HQ. I had fairy lights hanging from the beams, candles on the ledge wall and table. "This needs to be perfect" I mumbled to myself. The dinner was slowly roasting in the oven, the wine in the chiller and the question on the tip of my tongue. I had never taken something so slowly as this, I had always rushed into marriage. I guess that's why it never lasted. I suppose that's why I want this one to last because I am taking it so slowly. I looked around me, checking off things in my head. I wanted tonight to be perfect. "Boss, your becoming a perfectionist. It's not like you" Tony sighed "When it comes to the one you truly love you need everything perfect" I hummed "I know what you mean. I'd love to be there for Audri right now but she won't let me" he nodded "It'll be fine. Audri and baby will be fine" I reassured "She's coming home soon or so I believe" Tony sighed "Do you want me to see her?" I asked "If you wouldn't mind? I would love to but when I go in I cause chaos" he replied "Of course I will" I nodded.
