Alicia looked around her office. She had just gotten there and already she was ready to leave. From the looks of it, nothing new had come in, so while she technically could sit down and take a closer look at her initial assessment of the players before the season began again, she would much rather go tend to a much more pressing matter: lunch. Again, technically she could sit down with whatever she found in the cooler while she went through receipts from the weekend’s shopping trip with the students, but…

Her eyes drifted upwards toward the ceiling and the flat above the next-door shop. With a smirk she picked up her purse and left the office, intent on pestering one of her favourite grumps into taking a break.

Knocking on his door, she started rummaging through her purse while she waited for him to answer the door. It was amazing the things you could keep and forget you had in a purse that had been Charmed to hold more than its own size. After all, it had been at least three years since the twins had used pacifiers…

Slowly, with a pensive smile, Alicia shook her head. “Not really,” she said softly, looking up to meet Adrian’s eyes. “I may have visited a lot of places, but I haven’t explored them, not like you have.” Which was alright, really. She had travelled pretty much her entire life, in the winter time to indulge in a hobby that wasn’t as readily available in Britain as it was in other places in Europe, and in the summer time to spend time with her family and relax away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. She had never been in any of those place for any significant amount of time, not like Adrian had, and she hoped that maybe one day she could try that too.

“The Caribbean, really?” Alicia smirked and shook her head. “I’ll believe that when I see it, but only if it really is better than Fuerteventura.” The moment Adrian sighed, she knew. She knew that sigh and she knew that their time was up, for now at least. “Yeah,” she agreed, though she sent him a small smirk. “Not really sorry I pulled you away from that, though.”

She had just pulled out her purse and was about to find the money when Adrian stopped her. For a moment, all she could do was look at him, a soft smile on her lips as she took in the laugh lines at the corners of his eyes and the way his smile lit up his face. “All right,” she finally said and put her purse away again. “But then the first paying round is on me tonight.”

	"Fine then," he conceded. "Can I walk you back to your office or are you out for the day?" After paying, he stood and made way for Alicia, following her out to the street. It was a nice day for August - not too hot - and he enjoyed the walk back, partly dreading getting stuck back in the lab, but also excited for the next steps in his work.

“Contrary to your apparent conviction, I do work during the day, too,” Alicia grinned before she nodded. “I’m not quite done at the office, so it’d be nice to walk back with you.”

Falling into step with Adrian, Alicia tilted her face up, and enjoyed the sun as they walked. This… this was the kind of lunch break she preferred, even if she did love both her jobs. She wouldn’t have objected to it lasting a bit longer, to having spent a bit more time with Adrian, but they were on for drinks tonight, and he did have a day job, and one that required a certain amount of punctuality at that, but this had been good. Today had been good.
