Summary
“And you came by to help me, of course?” Lisbon raises an eyebrow.
“Depends”, Jane says.
Lisbon stares at Jane. “Depends on what?”
“On how well you’ve done your homework.” Jane fishes out a pack of cards from his pocket.
“Do not even think -”
“One game”, Jane says with his signature oh-please-just-this-once-you-are-going-to-love-it-I-swear smile. It doesn’t actually work with Lisbon, hasn’t in years, but they have gone through these steps a billion times, and they both know where this leads. Jane knows that Lisbon needs a break, but won’t allow herself one - not when the paperwork is the punishment she has inflicted upon herself. Lisbon knows she has to yield at some point, lest the night is over before Jane gives up.
