Hey
texmex..... nice avatar!
I honestly don't know what kind of endearments they'd use for each other. Given Calleigh's propensity to call people "babe", she'd probably go that route.
texmex, when I read your suggestion, that they have a "code" for "I love you", my mind immediately went to strange places. The code phrase "deep-fry the rutabaga" came to mind first. I think it's because I used to watch "Charmed" (the thought of which now makes me gag) and a couple of the characters used "rutabaga" as code for "marriage". Then again, if Cal and Eric went around the office talking about rutabagas, people would either assume they've gone mad or that they are indeed speaking in code.
What kind of sly code do you think they could come up with? It'd probably have to have something to do with lab lingo so that no one would be suspicious. Maybe they could even make it something they say every day so that they could remind each other every day. :adore:
