It had been a stressful week for Ranger and he was about ready to throw the towel and go to bed. To top it all off he had a tonne of paperwork he needed to finish. Suddenly, the door to his office opened, startling him. There stood the one person he always wanted to see after a long day. His Babe.

Normally, whenever Stephanie entered his building he was instantly notified, but it seemed that she had chosen to take the stairs, judging by her heavy breathing. Instead of her normal bright smile, there was a slight frown on her face. Before he could ask her about whatever was on her mind, she shut the door and walked to his side of the desk and sat on his lap. She put a finger of his lips, indicating that she didn't want to talk and just lay her head on his shoulder. They held each other like that for about fifteen minutes before she kissed him lightly on the cheek and walked out.

He was mystified by his Babe, but he had loved being able to hold her. Something was definitely going on, but he would let her come to him, just as she had, because he knew pushing to talk would only make her clam up about it.

He was suddenly feeling refreshed and continued on with his paperwork, before heading up to seven for bed. He had a smile on his face and he remembered holding her. Damn, she had him wrapped around her finger. He would do anything for her, and the fact that she choose him for comfort made him feel bulletproof. A gentle sigh left his lips as sleep overtook him.
