"Just remember he doesn't know you" James repeated the third time this evening.
"It'll be okay. Don't worry. " She squeezed his hand. "It's strange to have Miles out of our inner circle but it can be changed, I'm sure."
She could understand him to some point. It would have been a torture for her to know James, to remember him, but not be able to talk about their past life because he didn't remember that her. Well in some way that was what had been happening with her and Jack. But considering how short and strictly professional their interaction had become during last year it didn't feel like a change.
"It's not about Miles. Well, it is in some part. Just. I have this strange feeling that something isn't quite right here. You know, with Miles changing his mind about that case so quickly and you not remembering about your possible plans for today."
"We've already discussed that. I was just too used to work all time and Miles had probably thought that surprising you would be the best way to avoid you being angry at him for being pulled to the work for nothing."
"Well, you may be right." He wasn't convinced but she could sense him relax for a bit.
"Of course, I'm. After all he's still alive and even got a dinner out of it." She smiled.
"Shall we go in then, milady?" He asked gallantly opening the door to her. "I'm sure he's already there. Too curious to miss our arrival. " He added quietly.
A/N: No more delay I promise. The next chapter will contain Miles.
