She smiled at the compliment, and how it was just simple small talk. "Thank you, it's a comfortable little flat. I should have invited you over sooner," Tracey said. But there was no point in regretting. He was here now. She heard the kettle start to ring, but before she poured she looked to Zacharias. "Do you like cream in first or second?" Tracey put the tea bag in her own cup, and poured in the boiling water.
