You've reached the office of Mr. Gold. I cannot answer you at this moment. Please leave a detailed message, and I will return your call at my earliest convenience.

Well, he panics easily...but I also told him, truthfully, that even I don't know the full extent of your abilities.

But to be honest, it's almost Christmas and he largely seems to think this threatens his plans with his fiancé...and given my own hopes for the next few days, I'm sympathetic.

I'm sure I'm sparing his intended a headache.

Not if I know Dr. Geislzer. He'll likely croak incessantly at Dr. Gottlieb too, and then you'll have both of them at your door.

He'll have to learn to shut up eventually then, won't he?

Please? I'll make it worth any temporary headache if you do.

No deals, dearie. Not between us. He'll be fine by morning.

...All right, that's fair.

But about something else he said...

[His voice warms considerably.]

Did you want to stay here for a few days? I'd be very glad to have you.

"He said"...?

He sent me an audio file of your conversation leading up to the croaking. I know it's something I wasn't supposed to hear, but this mess started when he suggested we were going on a trip together.

[ Sigh. ]

Fair enough.

That is, if it's not too much trouble? I know it's cumbersome to travel so far from the shop, I don't want to impose on your business of course! But it'd be a pleasure to have you.

There is no need for such concern; I am taking time off until the new year.

I'd be happy to join you, if you'll have me.

Excellent, then I'll see you whenever you'd like to come. I have all the kinks on this house worked out.
