Summary:
Robbie paused. James's tendency to overthink and second-guess himself at work was something Robbie had learned to negotiate. This situation, however, was uncharted territory. ‘Here be dragons’ territory. Big, bloody fire-breathing, hope-shattering dragons if Robbie got this wrong.
A/N: With thanks to wendymr for beta reading this twice and for encouraging me to find the heart of the story.
Thanks also go to barcardivodka, who beta read the third incarnation to ensure no Aussie-isms had crept in.
Any missing words, typos, goofs, fluffs, etc., are all my own work.
