Clark nodded at her reassurances. "Thanks." He was silent for a moment, before sitting up and stretching. "Well, I think it's time we got to bed. Long day of investigating tomorrow."
Sophia was awoken when Heath started moving, sighing softly in contentment as he kissed her forehead. She blinked against the light as she opened her eyes, squinting slightly as she looked up at her partner. "Good morning." She smiled, readjusting her head on his chest and draping one arm over him, hugging him briefly before relaxing into his hold.

Rylan nodded at Clark's words, standing and pulling the blanket with her. She headed toward the bedroom, pausing in the doorway to turn back toward her partner, "Why don't you sleep in here tonight? I suppose I can share half of the bed." She smiled and headed into the room, rummaging through the new clothes she had bought. She pulled out a pair of tights and a t-shirt, deciding that it would suffice for pajamas. She changed quickly before brushing her teeth and then climbing into bed.
"'Morning," Heath said gruffly, his hand dropping to her waist as she draped an arm over his torso. He let out a soft sigh, lightly stroking her hip. "So are we okay? Does sex make everything better?" He smiled to himself, chuckling, the sound rumbling in his chest.

Clark glanced over when Rylan spoke, mid-laying down on the couch. "Uh, sure. Thanks." He got up and followed her into the bedroom, tugging off his shirt. He climbed into bed and sighed happily. Beds were so much more comfortable than couches. He had enough room to stretch out and his back wouldn't hurt the following day.
Sophia laughed at his words, shaking her head. "We're okay, but not because of the sex. Though it was very good," she said with a small smile. She shifted and propped herself up on her arm so she could look at him. "I hope you know that I care about you a lot. I just...I don't think I know exactly what love is yet, so I don't want to tell you I love you until I know for sure myself."

Rylan glanced over when Clark got into bed, rolling her eyes at the appreciative way he laid down. "Goodnight, Mr. Kent." She nudged him with her foot before rolling onto her side away from him and curling herself around the blankets.
Heath smiled when Sophia spoke, his eyes still closed. "Of course it was great, look who you're sleeping with." He stretched for emphasis before placing his hands beneath his head. He slowly opened his blue eyes when she sat up, his vision slightly hazy. He nodded when she spoke, "I understand, Sophia. I'm obviously the one more invested in the relationship. Perhaps I'm the tragic hero of our story and my love for you is my fatal flaw." He sighed dramatically, before grinning and sitting up to peck her on the lips. He twined his arms around her waist, pulling her onto his lap. He pressed his forehead to hers, "Sophia, take as much time as you need to make sure you know how you feel. Just don't disappear anymore."

The following morning, Clark woke with his arms wrapped snuggly around Rylan. He must have moved closer to her for warmth in the night. Probably because it was so damn cold here. Carefully extracting himself from her, he got up and walked into the kitchen to make some coffee. Once the pot was started, her moved to the fireplace and started it up again. He noticed how hard it was to keep the house warm through the night and wondered if he should just sleep out there all night and tend to the fire when it started to die down.
"I won't," Sophia promised, wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging him tightly. "We should probably get moving. Burns should have that paperwork to us today." Getting out of bed, she moved to the bathroom to shower and get ready for the day.

Rylan awoke as Clark moved away from her, groaning softly at the removal of his warm body. When he left the room, she climbed out of bed and tugged on a sweatshirt before heading into the living room. She watched quietly as he started up the fire again. "'Morning," she called sleepily as she walked into the kitchen, leaning against the counter and watching the sputtering drip of the coffee into the pot.
Heath returned her hug, groaning when she spoke of work. He ran his hands up her back and kissed her cheek before reluctantly releasing her and falling back into his pillow. He waited for her to finish showering before he got up and hopped in, cleaning off quickly. He exited with a towel wrapped around his waist and his hair dripping water in his eyes. He changed into black slacks and a white dress shirt, tucking it in and topping it off with a brown leather belt and brown dress shoes. He then dried off his hair and slicked it back before putting on his glasses and rolling up his sleeves. He grab his watch and headed downstairs, fastening it as he walked into the kitchen.

Clark glanced behind him when he heard Rylan come in. "Morning," he greeted her, getting to his feet and returning to the kitchen. When the coffee was ready, he poured a cup for each of them and handed Rylan a mug. "Sleep well?" he asked, still not really able to complete full sentences yet.
Sophia pulled on a red dress appropriate for business and curled her hair, coming downstairs and finding her "husband" already there. "Maybe we should quit our job and do this for a living. It seems so much easier," she said in amusement. "Ready to go?"

Rylan murmured a thank you as Clark handed her a cup of coffee, pressing her hands against the warm sides. She shrugged at his question, "I slept pretty well. Except, there was this big lug pressed against me and all huggy and cuddly." She made a face before grinning at her partner and taking a sip of her coffee. "How about you?"
Heath glanced back when Sophia joined him, shaking his head at her words. "Too boring," he chuckled, moving up closer to her and wrapping his arms loosely around her waist. "You look nice, though," he said with a smile. "Yeah, let's go." He released her and grabbed the keys before heading out to the car.

Clark rolled his eyes at her. "Pretty well except this thin stick that hardly held any warmth kept poking me," he shot back, taking a sip of his coffee.
Sophia smiled at his compliment. "Why thank you." She followed him out and got into the passenger seat, waiting for him to whisk them away to Burns's office.
[Sorry. The muse died again.]

Rylan rolled her eyes, "I'm nicely filled out, thank you very much." She smiled and took another sip of her coffee. "Besides, I'm pretty sure you enjoyed it." Leaning up on her toes, she snuck a quick kiss before pulling away and sauntering into the living room. She took a seat on the couch to finish her coffee and watch the fire.
[XD I don't even know. ^]
Having missed his precious car the past few days, Heath enjoyed transporting them to Burns' office. Once he parked, he glanced at his partner, "Ready?"
[I'll let you take the lead here.]

Clark grinned at her remark. "Uh huh." He watched her with a raised eyebrow after she kissed him, a little confused by the action. She was being very touchy feely lately and it was sort of throwing it off. He was trying to keep it casually professional around her. He was friendly, but not that friendly. He followed her into the living room, settling on the couch beside her. "So, should we get an early start today and snoop around that store again. Or maybe we should start with the delivery company. We could stake them out, maybe pretend we're interested in using them and question them for information about the companies they currently work with for references."
[Meh I don't know what to do with this scheme. This money stuff is a little beyond me...]

Rylan took another sip of her coffee, her eyes on the fireplace as she tucked one of her legs beneath the other on the couch, a little surprised that he didn't comment on her affections. She shrugged slightly at his words, "We should go stake out the warehouse. We can ask around, like you said. Who knows, maybe they'll be receiving a delivery today." She glanced over at her partner, "I'll go get dressed." She got to her feet, hesitating slightly in order to stretch her hip before she continued on. She changed into a warm outfit, heading back out into the living room to wait for her partner so that they could leave.
[It's a little beyond me, too. Maybe they can just work on getting into his personal things to see what he's really investing the money in and whatnot?]
