Sydney continued to search the menu, blowing a stray lock of blonde out of her face and running her finger down the page. "Okay I've decided!" she announced after a minute. "You going with the burger, then?" she asked, glancing up as she waited for his answer. She surveyed him for a moment. She hadn't cajoled him all the way to dinner just for his health and some small talk--she wanted to get to know her co-worker!
"So what do you do as a job?" she asked, referring not to their work at the Agency, but rather as a cover job. She leaned forward slightly for his answer, brows raised ever so slightly in interest. Her attention was briefly torn away when the waitress appeared. She was prompt, Sydney noted with pleasure. She loved good service. "I'm ready to order, but..." her voice trailed off and she glanced at Alex.
