Mardi Gras had been an enlightening experience and Mac isn't entirely sure it happened given just how tipsy she'd been. But it had, apparently, and her dry streak of God only knows how long had finally been broken with Nikola and she's keen to have it continue. It's not serious. How can it be, when he's technically in a relationship with someone else? Still, it's fun and she's had very little of that in the past few years. She's not about to turn down a good thing.

They've agreed to keep it to her place in the GAE for now, which is fine; Mac is much more comfortable in her own bed with her own things than she is skulking off in the night to someone else's. She's expecting Nikola and while it makes her nervous, more than half the butterflies in her stomach are from sheer excitement - it's a nice feeling.

When she hears the door swing in, she pads out to greet him, a grin on her face. "You're punctual. I suppose I gave you proper motivation?"
