Once his food was stored Tony did one final check over the apartment before flopping on the couch and sleeping until the alarm clock in the bedroom woke him up at six the next morning.
Wearing a suit was a rare thing for Tony, but he knew he wouldn�t have time to change before going to the airport and his usual sweater and casual pants would not be welcomed, so he made sure he tied his tie tightly and combed his hair neatly before stepping foot outside the door.
�Hot lunch date, Tony?� Kate asked in lieu of a greeting as he passed her desk to reach his own.
�I don�t know what you�re talking about,� Tony said, not exactly sure how he was going to explain the fact that he was wearing a suit that he normally reserved for court dates when paperwork was the order of the day. �Gibbs in yet?�
�Haven�t seen him, but I�ve been down with Abby for a while,� Kate replied as she shifted some files around on her desk. �Seriously, Tony, why did you get all dressed up for the office? We don�t have to be in court until tomorrow on the Miller case.�
�I know,� Tony said. �I just won�t have time to change after work,� he said as he booted up his computer.
Kate frowned but didn�t question it. She assumed he probably had a date with someone who he didn�t meet in a bar and needed to dress up for the woman. Thinking about Tony and his endless string of women stung, like always, but Kate didn�t let it show.
