Returning }{ Open
Jarvis alerted him to the other’s presence just as he heard the sound of the coffee machine working. He pushed his chair back, and got to his feet. There was a tumultuous mixture of emotions in his belly. Was Ianto really back? How long had it been since the other had simply vanished, dropping off the face of the earth entirely?
He’d wondered if Ianto had returned to Wales, to Harkness. He’d had to resist the urge to fly over and check for himself. It would do no good, he knew. If Ianto was done in America, tracking him down wouldn’t encourage him to come back.
But now…
He stepped out of the office and spotted Ianto, with his back to him, facing the machine. “…Ianto-“
The last time he'd heard that voice.. He could still remember, clearly. And his stomach turned thanks to his nerves; but he finished the coffee and turned on his heel, one mug in his hand and the other coming up to his lips. He took a sip, closing his eyes for a moment to savor the flavor of it. Lowering the cup, he smiled. "Hello, sir. Long time, no see. Please forgive my prolonged absence and the lack of phone calls or communication - But I was merely in need of a vacation so I could clear my head. Hawaii was quite relaxing." He offered the other mug and smiled a little wider. "Coffee? I made it just the way you like it."
