She stopped beside Miriam. "Goodbye, dear."
"Thank you for helping Molly, Valerie." Miriam grinned. "It's always good having you over."
"Just sad this time is business," she sighed and leaned in to give Miriam an affectionate kiss on her cheek. "You keep him in line."
Miriam laughed as her shoulders shook.
The District Attorney turned to the doctor. "Be nice."
He didn't look at all shocked at her words, but he did look offended. "I'm always nice."
Miriam's laughter bubbled up and the doctor smiled and pressed a kiss to the top of her head.
"Glad you think this is funny."
"I do, too." Valerie walked out with a wave at Jacob. "Same for you. Treat Molly well, or I'll kick your ass."
Molly followed behind Valerie, murmuring to Miriam before she took her hand in a farewell greeting. "Thank you for everything."
Miriam held her hand tightly. "I hope I'll see you soon for better reasons than we met."
"That would be wonderful. When I'm allowed out, we should go out for lunch."
Miriam nodded. "Or you could just come up for fun and we can kick back and enjoy the incredible surround sound that Callen installed for me. It's like being at a concert. We'll order in snacks and act like girls at a sleepover."
"That sounds marvelous." Molly turned her head and looked at Jacob who was watching her intently. Turning back to Miriam, she smiled at the soft smile on her face. "I need to talk to Jacob about the developments with the case and we'll see what happens after that."
"That sounds lovely." Miriam gave her hand another squeeze and let go.
Molly moved over to the doctor. "Thank you for letting me invade your private space."
He shook his head. "Happy to have you. Especially because Miriam was happy to have you. You're welcome up at any time."
Then the doctor looked over her shoulder for a second before meeting her eyes again. "But if the detective acts like a jerk, you come up here and I'll take him to task over it."
"Oh no," Molly smiled. "I can handle Jacob if he does anything like that. But, I thank you for letting me come up and get my mind off of everything."
"Before Valerie stopped by..." While he continued to speak, her mind was caught on an aspect of his voice. There was something about the way that the doctor spoke about the District Attorney and the way that she'd spoken to him on her way out that said they had a history.
Not anything untoward, but something that was history.
It was... interesting.
"I'm glad I had a chance to talk to her. I just hope that we didn't take over too much of your time and space."
Doctor Webb shook his head. "This is the most excitement we've had in weeks, right?"
He turned his gaze toward Miriam and Molly saw her blush.
"Oh, I don't know, Callan. We have enough excitement on our own."
As Molly stepped back, she tried to ignore the heated look in the doctor's eyes. He was a man deeply in love. They were a wonderful pair together and amazing people on their own.
Even if this was the only contact she had with them, she would consider herself lucky.
"I'll take that as my cue to head downstairs with Jacob. Thanks again."
Molly linked her arm with Jacob's and they walked outside.
