It's been about an eighty minutes since he's left, and Rin is still talking about him.

"He is so cute, Detective! And he knows you like coffee and he even managed to get you to drink something other than black coffee! Who knows, maybe you'll try a latte next. What an adventure, I wonder when he'll come back."

And on, and on, and on it goes. The entire experience seems to have made Rin feel personally connected to Sango, as if the two of them are friends instead of professional coworkers. She doesn't quite mind; Rin is a sweet girl, naive and talkative and untouched by the world.

But the fact remains: she has to get work done eventually.

"If he comes back again, do your best to distract him, will you, Rin? Even if it means going to the Star Wars movie with him right away."

"I couldn't do that! This is still my job," Rin insists.

"I think I can handle a day on my own. If the offer comes up, please, consider it part of your job description to keep him away from me."

"Well..." Her secretary grapples with the idea of being ordered to take a free day if offered, but eventually, nods her agreement, albeit reluctantly. "Alright, if it comes to that."

"Thank you, Rin." The sound of shuffling papers interrupt the friendly moment between them as Sango pulls her notes together.

Sensing that her boss is ready to get back to work, Rin straightens and heads back to her desk. Behind her, the detective takes a deep breath and begins dialing numbers.
