Chapter Text
"So what's in England?" Charlie asked, helping him book the tickets.
Alan shrugged. "Business possibilities, a couple of old friends."
"You usually just don't pick up like this."
"I used to travel a lot. Backpacked through Europe before I met your mother."
"You're not planing on doing that again, are you?" Charlie asked, sounding worried.
"And what if I am? A little travel, a little adventure, it's good for the soul and I'm not dead yet."
"It just doesn't seem like you."
Alan smiled. "I still have a few surprises left, Charlie. And I feel like going and finding them."
