Missing an old friend.

[secondshift]

Watch late-night TV and now you miss Doug?

I miss him too, but you can't be getting all sappy every time someone's face shows up. Hell, you've still never given me an explanation for what you did to Scott.

This face?

[secondshift]

[Karen is honestly stunned.] ...Yeah.

Hi, Doug.

[politicly]

Hey beautiful.

[secondshift]

I thought you gave up on us.

[politicly]

No, mun just got stressed and had to take a break.

[secondshift]

Well, um...I miss you. If you'll still have me.

[politicly]

Do you still want me? [Smiles.]

[secondshift]

I never stopped wanting you.

[politicly]

Then you have my answer. [Winks.]

[secondshift]

[Still kind of shocked.]

Would your mun mind setting something up? Figuring out what's happened to us? Because I could really use to just see you as soon as possible.

[politicly]

You got it.

[secondshift]

You really were missed. In case there was any doubt.

[politicly]

So were you, in case you had doubts.

[secondshift]

I did think maybe you'd just gotten tired of me. I know I'm not easy.

[politicly]

Neither am I, but it means a lot you put up with me.

[secondshift]

There's a lot to love about you. I liked being able to get you to go all wild on me. And you're funny, and sweet, and when you smile it makes me happy.

[politicly]

You do make me wild, and I love it.

[secondshift]

You are incredibly sexy when you come undone, although I like that you're the safe one too.

[politicly]

I've owned the fact I tend to be the boring twin.

[secondshift]

It's not boring. As a single mother I appreciate it.

Although I still worry you dating a single mother at least ten years older than you will kill any political ambitions you have.

[politicly]

You and Wes are well worth the death of any political career. Just so you know.

[secondshift]

You know we've been together almost a year now, he's probably warmed to you.

[politicly]

Good, I want him to.

[secondshift]

I can only imagine the gossip coverage that's come out of our relationship. I'm sure I was labeled as your rebound.

[politicly]

Fuck them, you are more than that. You are the woman I want to spend my life with.

[secondshift]

I'd like that too, though I'm so not going to say that because of before.

[politicly]

You can say anything you want.

[secondshift]

I wasn't sure with the whole you being engaged thing.

[politicly]

You mean a lot to me.

[secondshift]

I don't doubt that. Just don't want to immediately ask you to make another commitment.

[politicly]

You don't even need to ask, you already have it.

[secondshift]

You do understand I'd make a shit political wife. I mean, being a DA's wife is totally different and there are people who'd say I was bad at that too.

[politicly]

Who cares because you'd make an amazing wife in my eyes.

[secondshift]

I tried. I really did.
