Hi guys!!
@ luvingmyHoratio: I would love to do that!! It would be a bit of a while down the road, but I'm going to start working on that! Thanks for the idea!!
Here's a scene that may be all cheesy and OOC, but I had to do it!!
Everyone remembers Emily Procter dancing around in a white bath-robe to 'Blame it on the Bossanova' in her role of Ainsley Hayes in 'The West Wing'. Well, what if Calleigh started dancing about(not in a bath-robe) to this famous track, and someone walked in? What would be their reactions?
No copright infringement intended with the dialogue from 'The West Wing', I am borrowing the scenario for a short time, and will make no profit from it. Except comments and kind words from all my readers!! :lol: I hope you like, and there's another missing scene coming up soon!!

on his face was worth it all...

A beat.
She picks up another page.)
CALLEIGH: I felt so liberated... I just felt like singing, dancing...
