I might have forgotten to mention that you were one of the only tolerable people back home, and I suppose it would be nice to see you again. Besides, it's probably going to be some time before you can take another vacation, what with your transfer.
[ they did date briefly and she was starting to run herself ragged. a break, however short, could be... nice. ]
I like to keep xx business private.
SORRY FOR THE SLOW but jim knows claire's nice under the professional persona pls
[ claire smiled, glad that he couldn't see, because she's sure she'd never hear the end of it. but he did have a knack for making her feel at ease. there was just something about him... and it was both charming and infuriating. ]
If you can make it to the airport I can take care of the rest. Bring something to do though, because the flight's a little long. [ she wanted to remind him the dinosaurs were the main attraction, but she refrained. no flirting. ] I'll see you soonish.
