Germany? Really? Surely those were even more lively than the American ones.

[The thought of Miles of all people slumming it around at a German pub brought a smile to his face. How many drinking buddies did he once have out there? How many friends and high profile acquaintances did he manage to acquire in his other life on the other side of the world.

He forgot how mysterious much of Miles's life outside of the office was to him.]

Anyway, if anything I think that gives us all the more reason to do this more. Before we ended up here I don't think we hung out anywhere near as much as I really wanted us to.

[Oh! Was that too presumptuous? Maybe it was because Miles was too busy, or maybe he didn't want to spend all his time outside of work around Phoenix when they spent so much of their working time running into one another?

Great. Now he could feel his own cheeks turning red.]

That is, if you don't mind.

[And with that he turned to look at Miles once more. Sorry, but it's going to take a lot more than that change of subject to get his eyes off you.]
