   Summary

   Inspired by a lovely comic made by @thehmn
   THIS!

   “Hey, so, I have a little confession. The gift is kind of just an excuse to talk to you about something else.” Simon nods along like this all an old song and dance he’d done a hundred times before. “Not that I don’t want to show off Mary’s database- it’s really cool, but really, I’m here because of that offer you’ve made over breakfast the other day.” He tries to gather his thoughts but before he can continue Simon speaks up.

   “Alright. Simple enough. I ought to settle my tab eventually.”
   ---
   Simon makes assumptions based on stolen glances, Grace tires and fails to communicate what he actually wants.
