Office hours [all day]

[sith_happened]

A week away without the baby? Anakin had loved it, even if he had begun feeling vaguely guilty about leaving her by Thursday.

Which was why he was now updating the photos in his office (which would also be helpful for when alumni stopped by during the weekend, he thought) and humming "Sweet Caroline" under his breath.

Rory swore that Juliet loved the song. Anakin rather suspected it had something more to do with the guy with the hair and the guitar from Squee singing it.

Either way, the door was open.

Anakin watched her eyes for a moment, listening for nudges in the Force, before nodding. "Very well. But when you're not, don't stonewall me?"

If he was accepting that, she could give that much. "Okay," she agreed.

"Okay," he repeated, giving her a tiny smile. "You do know I love you, right?"

For Anakin, that took a lot to say aloud.

"I know. I love you too." Really, if she didn't, she wouldn't have kept showing up with all these issues hanging there. "I feel like we should be congratulating ourselves for this."

[sith_happened]

"Having an adult conversation about issues?"

[solo_sword]

"It's us," she said, thinking that explained her point.

"You said I didn't listen," he said quietly. "I'm working on it."

[solo_sword]

"Thanks," she said. Seriously, that went a long way after all this. "I should let you get back to it. I'll see you next week."
