Thai food and Shrinks

[fakes_death]

Clay got home from Langley about an hour after his usual time, thanks to his job and the line at his favorite Thai restaurant. He set the bag on the counter, and loosened his tie. Annie should be home any minute from one of her sessions with the Agency Psychologist

When she walked in the door, Annie could smell the Thai food and it made her smile. She set her purse down on the table closest to the door and set the alarm behind her before stepping out of her heels and stretching. Then she went to go find Clay.

"Sorry I'm so late," she said by way of apology as she came around the corner into the kitchen. "The traffic was a little worse than usual, which is weird since I have no idea what so many people are doing out this late."

It was an attempt at normal conversation so that he wouldn't go on about her real reason for being later than normal in the first place. She really didn't like answering questions.

"It's alright." Since Annie told him the real reason for her lateness, there had been no more suspicions, only warm dinners and normal conversation, just like he promised. "I got home on the late side myself."

"Because of food?" She was grateful that he didn't probe into her sessions with the doctor, simply because she was still working out her deeper issues with her op herself. It was difficult to keep anything from him, and though he was more than welcome to look into the facts of the mission, he didn't know about the intricacies and that made all the difference.

Still, she enjoyed a little bit of downtime when she got home and this was it. Picking up a stray vegetable here and there before giving him a kiss. "Hi."

"That's one of the reasons. I had something at lunch today that ran over." Apparently, it was harder to tell Annie that he went to the Agency Psychologist

He did return her kiss though, "Hi. I bought your favorite."
