Lydia's loathe to let go a second time, but when it starts to sound like the morning briefing is about to begin, she finally does, but she sits back down and motions for Allison to take the chair next to her. She probably won't be able to see her at lunch, just because Lydia eats her lunch quickly and gets back to work so that she never has to stay after hours to finish, but she'll definitely see her for dinner; she'll make sure she mentions it when she sends Allison a message on the PDC. Lydia makes a mental note to do that as soon as they're let out of the briefing and while Lydia's on her way to the forensics lab to meet Barry and get to work.

One of Lydia's hands moves to take Allison's again and she gives it a squeeze, some part of her just needing to know that Allison's still there.
