He was at the pub. Sitting at a table, drinking a pint. It was his fourth so he was tipsy but he noticed a woman looking at him. He looked back at her. It was one of his coworkers, Anna. She was the MI6 agent that had been sent there but never 'called home'. She was looking directly at him and blushed slightly when he looked back at her. He half smiled at her. She quickly turned her head away as her cheeks went red. She was obviously embarrassed but was trying to hide it.

A few pints later she had walked over to him, obviously drunk and in no condition to drive. "Nicholas, can you help me get home? I can't drive like this." she asked, catching up to him. "Sure." He replied. "Where do you live?" he asked. "I'm in the Swan Hotel." Anna replied. Nicholas nodded. Anna tripped and was caught by Nicholas. Anna laughed softly but drunkenly all the same as she blushed again. He put her back on her feet and walked her home.

When they got to the hotel Anna seemed ready to collapse at any given moment. When Anna got to the door to her room she groaned, put her head against it and slid down it, dropping to her knees on the floor. Nicholas looked around at her. "Anna?" he said. "Hmm?" she replied sleepily. "You're not going to get much sleep out here." He said. "I forgot the key to my room." Anna replied slowly and sleepily as she sighed. She got back up and tripped, fell sideways and collided with Nicholas' arm. To stop herself falling, she clung to his arm. She closed her eyes and sighed again. "Ok." Nicholas said suddenly. Anna looked up at him with a "What?" expression on her face. "You can stay with me for tonight." Nicholas added, unlocking and opening the door to his room. Anna smiled as he did this. "Thanks..." she said quietly. Nicholas smiled slightly as he let her in.
