Forget What Should Be Forgotten

When Serenity noticed that Gabriel had no intention of answering Joseph, she decided to answer on her boss's behalf, "Yes."

Joseph Lopez was alert as the corners of his lips curled into an intoxicating arc. Then he teased Gabriel. "If it's just Jack Sawyer looking for you, it's probably about work. But by bringing his daughter, is he planning to use her as a honey trap?"

Gabriel pursed his thin lips and glanced at Serenity indifferently, implying that she was being meddlesome.

Serenity's watery eyes shifted and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. "President Jones, if there's nothing else you need, I'll be returning to my desk."

Joseph Lopez watched her leave with an interested smile. After the office door closed, he said, "You have to be gentle with women. Do you plan to be single for the rest of your life?"

Gabriel's lips remained pursed as he looked at his friend. "If you have nothing better to do, go home and accompany your babies."
