If I hadn't fallen through the Rift, I would have really loved to have asked Detective Angell out to dinner.

And she probably would have eaten me alive.

[just stares at this for a very long minute.

and then shakes his head. stupid rifts]

Any of you wiseasses make a comment about her name, you're asking for a punch in the face. Got it?

Oh, I doubt she would have eaten you alive, Detective, unless she's a cannibal. [Sorry, Flack, she takes things way too literally sometimes. Though, she does know that in this instance, it's obviously a joke; she just can't help remarking on it with her attempt at reassurance.]

[flack]

[if you were face to face, Maura, there'd be a small smile at that]

Cannibal? No. But ... she was definitely a force to be reckoned with.

[She would be grateful for that]

She has a very vibrant personality, then?

[flack]

She does. And she knows how to handle herself.

[doctorofdeath.livejournal.com]

She sounds remarkably similar to my best friend.

Has she shown much interest in you, or does she keep that well-hidden?

[flack]

Eh, we haven't known each other that long. And to be honest, I'm not sure I would have seen it if it wasn't obvious.

[Don Flack -- great detective, but a little oblivious when it comes to his personal life]

[doctorofdeath.livejournal.com]

Well, you can still have fun and enjoy her company even if you haven't known each other long.

[flack]

I guess you're right. I just never managed to get out of my own way.

[narrated]

Why didn't you ask her out to dinner before you'd fallen through?

Work always getting in the way?

[flack]

That, mostly. She had only been a detective for a little over a year. Since I had seniority ... I had a feeling she wouldn't go for it, just based on how it would look.

Aw. Were you just shy about getting around to the asking?

[flack]

Among other reasons.
