Bobbi’s eyes flicked down, hints of pink coloring her cheeks and the tip of her nose. She wanted to answer truthfully : how much she’d missed him, how dull and monotonous things had become, that she’d taken assignment after assignment in an attempt to not think about HIM. Instead, she held her tongue and flashed a genuine, but dulled smile.

   Bad as he was expressing his own sentiment without coating it in a thick layer of deadpan,  at least Tim could still pride himself on being able to read people.  Read her.  Features softened to something a little more boyish as he caught sight of that blush,  tongue poking the inside of his cheek as he lightly bit down to keep from commenting on it.  Despite that brief hint of hope that flashed in his chest,  it was still too------ risky.  He’d always preferred action over words anyway. 

“ And they haven’t fired her yet for her inability t’ keep track of valuable information?   What an oversight.  At least this is a problem with ‘n easy fix.  Join me on coffee break?  It’ll be on me. “

            ‘  Isn’t that where you grew up             bumfuck nowhere?   Bobbi kept a straight face for exactly three seconds before her mouth screwed up into a taut purse. Pocketing her tongue against her cheek, she shifted her weight, letting her arms drop from around her chest. ‘  A lot could happen in a month …

     “ Matter a’ perspective, “ though he couldn’t exactly disagree----- even if there were worse places than Louisville to be considered bumfuck nowhere.  “ They wouldn’t say so in Kentucky,  but then what’s Kentucky ever done ‘cept bourbon and bluegrass, huh? “ His own lips tilt lopsided, opening his face a little more to something genuine.  “ That imply that a lot did or-----?  ‘d I miss? “

                ‘ You were gone a month. I didn’t even have time to notice you were gone.

     “ Yeah,  didn’t even notice time passin’,  was havin’ so much fun playin’ clean up crew in bumfuck nowhere.  Glad to see you’re still livin’ and breathin’.  “  And that, at least, was said a lot more genuine than whatever shit he usually spouted, lips curling up faintly at the corners.  “ Lot could a’ happened in a month--- “

          ‘  Sure.   She canted her head sharply to the side, cool, blasé expression with just a HINT of dare woven into it. ‘  I bet you’d look really nice in that black negligee you got me last month. You’ve got good shoulders.   Mouth broke into a sly, sardonic smile. ‘  Just don’t stretch it out.

   “ Damn,  how’d ya even figure out so quickly that’s exactly why I bought it? “  Though there was nary a change to the flow of his words, drawl as deadpan as ever,  it’d probably take a good deal more convincing to actually get him into the thing.  “ And here I thought I was bein’ subtle. “

              Slumping down in her seat, Bobbi knocked her head back, gaze set firmly forward. Not missing a beat: ‘  Yes, but you’re a very good dog. If you’re lucky I’ll buy you a leash and collar after work.   Expression was still all business, no smile, no tonal change. ‘  Are you complaining about getting out of the office while Raylan and Art are having yet another less than civil conversation?

    “ Sounds kinky.  Can’t wait for that excitin’ new update in our relationship, “  his reply comes just as deadpan, though unlike her even mien there certainly was the barest hint of a smirk curling up the edges of his lips.  “ And I barely even notice ‘nymore.  Ya hear the same ole’ bullshit repeated ad infinitum often ‘nough and y’ learn to start tunin’ it out after a while, “ though he won’t deny stepping out from the tense atmosphere blanketing the office was a welcome change.  “ Not to say that bein’ in a car with you isn’t still th’ much preferable choice, though.  You scathin’ comments on my drivin’ style notwithstanding, a’ course, darlin’. “

              ‘  Please.   She knocked her head back against the seat, rolling her eyes sharply to the side. ‘  Left up there by the brown building …   Bobbi stopped, lips thinned.              the brown building with the RED trim.

      “ yes, ma’am, “  his tone came out an amused drawl, left corner of his mouth lifted into a lopsided smirk.  as per her instructions,  tim turned a sharp left past the brown building ( with the red trim ).  “ tho’,  still not sure why we’re the ones appointed t’ do this ------ i’m sure you’re ‘bout as aware as i am that this ain’t nothin’ more than a glorified game a’ fetch. “

    “ i’m sure you’ll have plenty a’ opportunity t’ show him the light a’ the lord once more when i’m done here, crowder.  after all,  ain’t like ya got shit all else t’ do here, right? “  he cocks a brow at the guy through the glass, the receiver lazily held against his ear.  “ ‘sides stirrin’ trouble, allegedly.  i’m sure you heard about the order to transfer you to a higher security facility, “ which, in this case, meant maximum.  “ wanna tell me why, or do i gotta guess? “

“ i’d make a remark ‘bout it,  but considerin’ that kinda sounds exactly like me th’ past oh,  years or so,  i’m sure i ain’t got a leg left to stand on, “  doesn’t curb the flash of concern he feels though, or the way his lips pull down at the corners seeing the exhaustion so clearly in the lines of her face.  “ you got time to take a nap?  or at least get somethin’ to eat in you?  whatever needs doin’ that i can take care of,  y’ know i’m your guy, yeah? “ / @agentnineteen
