craftylildoodlepumpkinJuliet is in full cop-mode when she hits the diner; mirrored sunglasses and all. She scans the menu, picks out a cheeseburger and a salad, and pre-orders Shawn an ice-cream soda. They both should have a half-hour before they need to go back on duty.
If he's late she's going to tell him about what she and Lassiter have been doing while he and Gus have been cocooning. In disgusting, vivid detail.

"Hey Jules."

Date: 2011-10-13 06:39 am (UTC)"Hi," she puts down the menu and watches her approach. "You've been calling all day, what's been wrong?" She and Lassiter were on a stakeout and actually answering him in anything but Text had been a major no-no.

"That's kind of it, actually. Everything's... good."

And there's the issue at hand. He fidgets with his straw.

Date: 2011-10-13 07:29 am (UTC)"Nothing's wrong. Like I said, this is definitely a very very good thing."
He takes a looong sip of his soda.
"I'm just wondering if it might be time to take the next step."

Date: 2011-10-13 07:39 am (UTC)Actually saying 'proposal' might be a good start.

Date: 2011-10-13 07:51 am (UTC)Truth be told, in matters this important he trusts her taste more than his own.
"I'm still kinda thinking it over."

Date: 2011-10-13 08:07 am (UTC)There's a difference between a symbol of fidelity shared between two people and a culturally entrenched ceremony shared with the entire world. Or at least their particular slice of it.
"I'm just not sure if we're ready for that last big leap."

Date: 2011-10-13 08:55 am (UTC)He knows they've gotten to the point where any resulting freak-out would be mild at worst. But still, when you do something like this you want to be reasonably sure of the response. Which.. he's not really feeling right now.
He shakes his head. "I should just go pick a ring anyway."

Date: 2011-10-13 08:59 am (UTC)... he's mostly joking.

Date: 2011-10-13 09:14 am (UTC)This is why he values her input. Although Gus is totally getting the decoder ring for his next birthday.
"So how are things going with you?"
It feels like they haven't talked in ages.

Date: 2011-10-13 09:58 am (UTC)"That's pretty much Lassie's version of standing outside your window singing love songs."
He holds a hand to his head in some semblance of a familiar gesture.
"He's the protective, chivalrous type, but he knows firsthand that you can kick major ass, so he shows you he cares by helping you take care of yourself."

Date: 2011-10-13 10:00 am (UTC)He looks cute like that - and gets a peck on the cheek for it.
