   Summary

   After a month apart, Hans Richter prepares a quiet, deliberate reunion for James Maurice - a world-famous French detective called from Germany to Canada for a case. He books a reservation at a French restaurant in Berlin, prepares a late-season Pinot Gris, and buys a small bouquet of Alstroemeria. After James's flight is delayed, Hans waits. When James finally arrives, flustered and apologetic, they fall into an easy rhythm of wine and conversation, of gifts exchanged, of feet grazing under the table and shoulders leaning in the taxi.

   All the while, the city buzzes outside, reminiscent of their entire journey. But that was some other time. Tonight, they have this.
