Her mouth twists, and she considers the ceiling with exaggerated thoughtfulness. "See, you're saying I'm the one who should be forking over cash tonight, but what I'm hearing is, 'Oh, Cath, I'm sorry I never actually paid for a really nice dinner for you over the years, here, let me make it up to you.'"
Returning her eyes to his face, she shrugs, lips tucked into an expression that's nowhere near as neutral as it's attempting to be, partly because it's dimpling the corners of her mouth, more due to the way her eyes sparkle. "Or am I translating incorrectly?"
Okay. So he's an idiot. He's being an idiot, and if he gets caught, it'll spell ruin for both him and Danny, and might wind up tearing his task force apart. Not to mention it's so far against the rules part of her wonders if he hit his head really hard, knocked it against some blacktop or a criminal's skull, and forgot that whole part of who he is and what he does.
But it's still Steve. Still the goofball who let her take that ridiculous picture of him during some downtime. Still her friend. Still a loyal, dedicated officer.
In the end, it's not really a question where she's going to find herself standing.
