Library [Sunday, December 9]

There's no book fort being built during Lee's time in the library today. Nope, just Lee, sitting behind the desk, lounging comfortably in the chair, reading a book. It'd been a busy week so he thought he deserved some lounge time.

The library was open.

"Maybe you make me not boring," Lee suggested. "You make me interesting and happy. That could be it."

It was hard not to grin a little more at that. "Guess I'll have to just ask around," she countered, "to make sure."

"Oh, really?" He dropped his chin into his other hand, eyes on her. "And who would you ask?"

Still grinning, Adah shrugged her shoulder. "Don't know. Anyone. Simple question: Is Lee Adama boring? Could make a chart, even, and take the results in for research. Very scientific research, that. I can submit it to help me get into medical school."

"But what if you found out that I was boring?" Lee asked, frowning. "Would I just be another science subject? No more time in the library for us?"

After taking a moment to make certain that she was following that properly, Adah shook her head. "Then I'd conclude," she said, very matter-of-fact, "that your theory must be correct, and I'd almost have to keep visiting you, to keep you from being completely boring."

She paused, lifting a finger from his hand to signal that she wasn't quite finished yet, but that she needed a moment to find words again. When she had them, her finger dropped, and she continued. "In fact, I might have to prescribe more time with me, for that reason."

"More time?" He tried not to smile. He really did try. He failed miserably. "I think you should definitely see about prescribing more time with me. It could be very beneficial."

Adah had a significant amount of experience in smiling when she was trying not to; it helped that it was a situation she liked to think that she had the controls of. So she was able to manage just a suspended shine of amusement in her eyes as she gave another light shake of her head. "Research first. Then we'll see. We wouldn't want an untimely and gruesome death due to an overdose."

"We wouldn't want that," he agreed, nodding. "But, I get to see you for the research, right?"

Adah gave a decisive nod of her head. "Of course."

"Good," he said, smiling again. "I used to hate research. Now, I kind of love it."

"And," Adah pointed out, "I used to hate talking."

"See, we're mutually beneficial to each other," he said and covered their joined hands with his free hand. "It works out so conveniently."
