Hill had been working herself harder than normal, which was saying a lot. There was a storm of things that were bothering her: the Stane trial, her ex suddenly reappearing in her life, the formation of S.H.I.E.L.D, and the damn dreams. The dreams were getting to her more than anything. Experiencing the death of her partner and best friend over and over wasn't something she was emotionally equipped to deal with. So she stayed late, pored over paperwork, took on extra cases... Anything she could do to avoid going home and being alone with her thoughts.
Some people ate their feelings. Others drowned them in alcohol. Maria Hill worked them to death.
At least tonight she had Chinese take-out (which she'd dutifully gone and picked up) and some company. Dropping the large bag of food on the desk they were working on, she grabbed a box of vegetable lo mein, nodding at Coulson. "Pick your poison, partner."
