Engrossed in the files on her screen, Tosh begins to answer: "Didn't get a chance, actually - I stayed over to finish running these scans last night, time being of the essence on this case, so I haven't really eaten since..." but her voice trails off as the delicious aroma of hot pastry and roasted coffee beans sinks in, and she looks over, a little bit frazzled and clearly surprised.
"Two croissants - one with Nutella filling, know they're your favorite - and one tall hazlenut with a shot of espresso, skim milk, two sugars," says Owen with a half smile as he leans in to give her a peck on the cheek and then walks away, ignoring her bewildered, slightly red-cheeked expression: "Don't mind me, go on and finish whatever you were doing - you can thank me later."

Oh I love this. Owen taking care of Tosh was great. I love him knowing her favourite and the coffee she likes. He can be such a sweetie when he wants to be. Thank you so much.
