________________________<br/><br/>Sinead couldn't say she was surprised Avi and Tanis were still working. Avi had a tendency of working around the clock, and his pro bono clients rarely had the means or the time to decline his help, even if it meant doing clerical work at off hours of the day. It was, however, beyond any reasonable time of night.<br/>She understood that Tanis' defense was complicated but as the clock edged past 2 a.m., Sinead found herself once again knocking at the office door.<br/>This time, she didn't wait for Avi's permission to enter, though she did linger for a heart beat before opening the door, allowing her husband time enough to settle himself.<br/>As she opened the door, she looked almost exasperated - though not surprised - to find them exactly where they were the last time she visited the office, 6 hours prior.<br/>"I'm putting an end to this," Sinead said. Her eyes had flickered between the two of them, but her wordsdirected at her husband. The annoyance in her voice was superficial, softened by the air of disbelief in her smile. "I'm leaving for work, and I'm taking Tanis with me. You're going to ruin yourselves at this pace."
