Tracey had rushed through closing down the office so she could walk Jock and throw a stick for him repeatedly for about twenty minutes. (The puppy wasn't much on the retrieving part as he preferred grabbing the thrown stick and taking off with it, but he enjoyed being chased and playing tug of war with the increasingly soggy bit of wood.) While he ate and tried to drink the bottom out of his bowl of water, she took a quick shower and then stood staring at her open wardrobe for the longest time wearing only her towel. While Callen would doubtlessly appreciate her current attire, she doubted it was appropriate for a restaurant.
Finally throwing up her hands, she pulled out a pair of fashionable, flatteringly fitted jeans and cute top in a shade of blue guaranteed to make hers eyes that much more vibrant. Her hair went up into a simple ponytail with artful strands carefully picked loose to frame her face but still leaving her neck bare as Callen seemed to be fascinated by that stretch of skin. A touch of her favorite perfume and understated make-up (so very different from the bright and brassy face she wore on her rare visits home) and she was all but ready. She was pulling on her boots with their much needed extra inches of height when Jock started barking at the door.
