Summary
“When you were in Shetland?” Robbie glosses over the fact that James has admitted he had a fling with a man. But then, if Robbie knows how James feels about him, he must be aware of a few other things as well.
“When I got your email,” James looks up at Robbie, casual as he can manage, though it’s a struggle not to smile at the wide-eyed, incredulous look Robbie’s giving him.
“The day before yesterday?”
James gives up trying to suppress his grin. “Yeah.” If the hug in the airport hadn’t been worth thirty hours of air travel, watching the contours of Robbie’s face as he pieces together what James is saying would be.

Summary
“What brings you to Shetland?” Duncan asks when he sits down opposite James with two pints of local ale. It’s such an obvious pick-up line James can’t help but smile. Duncan smiles back, eyes crinkling at the corners. His smile is warm and inviting; mischievous and merry, as if he’s up to something and wants James to join in. James is a bit startled to find that he would very much like to.
