Thank you. As are you.

[She could go on, elaborating how in the short time she's known him he's gone out of his way to help her twice or giving some variation of the blueberries metaphor she and Darin are fond of swapping, but that feels superfluous in this moment somehow. And not his style, anyway. So she leaves it at that.]

Speaking of which: I'd like to do something for you, as thanks for this and the other day on the beach. Do you like tea? I can make some and bring it by.
