~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Charlie's in a meeting right now," Amita said. "He asked me to invite you in and take a seat."
Robin nodded, doing so. "Thank you, Amita."
"Big date planned tonight?" and then caught herself before she asked anything else.
But Robin didn't mind - she understood the feeling. "Assuming neither of us gets called back to work, yes."
They had, by circumstance and neccessity, operated with painstaking slowness. And when they had achieved a plateau of stability in their interpersonal relationship with one another, their level of caution elevated: minimizing the amount of involvement in one another's cases, lest defendents' lawyers cry unfair bias.
But, Robin thought to herself, I am not about to recuse myself from involvement with Charlie. And it helped, she sometimes thought with a smile, that he didn't entirely understand the idea of retreat. "So. Anything new for you?"
"I - Well, I was just published," Amita said.
Charlie told me about that, rightfully proudly. "Congratulations. You should come with us - make this a celebratory dinner."
"Oh no, I couldn't."
"I insist."
