It's not her proudest moment. She's only telling him because it feels like hiding it would be worse. Tad was handsome enough; tall, well established, and interested. He'd flirted with her in that respectful way that felt just inappropriate enough to be exciting. And-- this part she wouldn't admit aloud under any circumstance-- it mattered that he thought well of Mulder. He'd invited her into his limo with champagne and it had seemed like the sane choice at the time.
And Mulder had called and interrupted, and really, that's the part that made something in her flutter happily.
She has a reward for his good behavior.
"I went out because I knew I was supposed to want to, and I was always a little relieved when it went nowhere."
The best part was always when he called her, with some crazy story or a dead body or a flimsy excuse. She'd wondered at first if he was trying to sabotage her; but eventually it hadn't mattered why. It only mattered that he needed her.
