Rosie miraculously doesn't have to work tonight, and she couldn't be happier. As much as she loves her job--most nights, anyway, that one instance a week ago notwithstanding--it's left her with less time for things like this, opportunities for the four of them just to spend a night together without any other obligations. She says goodbye to Neil, winking at Caleb when she just happens to pass him in the lobby on her way out, and it takes only the length of a bus ride before she's across town and on her way up to Nick's.

The front door's unlocked when she gets there, and she pushes it open, grinning over at Charlie when she sees him putting things away in the kitchen. "What can I help with?"
