After his heart to heart with Demeter, as they were always heart to heart with her, and all the confusion he's felt between his body, mind, and most of all his heart, Gus is more at ease than before but without any answers. He's already told The Devil once and for all it's off, he doesn't want to be that guy that keeps an open option - especially not an open option that could destroy him... and maybe still would. He's not that guy at all. Instead, he's been going through the motions; closing the case and helping get everything ready for the impending party.

The day after Juliet's birthday party, he gets a text message from Shawn telling him to be at Milliways as soon as possible at a bench by the lake. Later, it would occur to him that Shawn was clearly up to something - but as he walks a slow circle around the bench in the pink silk shirt and black slacks he'd worn to work for the day and waits for his friend to show it's more annoying than anything.

Nancy finishes off her own glass and nods.

"I'm ready now, then."

"That'll be nice", she says sincerely. "I haven't seen the sea since I was little, only the river."

She looks around, taking it all in.

"Nice office. I like the personal touches, it's your own company?"

She wanders around a little, looking at the things on the walls and other things in plain sight.

"I wouldn't know what a detective agency's supposed to look like, except Philip Marlowe's in the pictures, but I don't see anything wrong with yours."

If anything offensive is there, she doesn't visibly notice it, and turns her attention to him when he speaks.

"Not too spicy, I'm not really used to it. I like fish, though, and you said this place was by the sea?"

Nancy smiles, following him to the door, and takes his hand readily.

"It's a nice day for a bit of a walk."

She glances into the shop windows as they pass, taking in and sometimes admiring the displays.

"I'm a city girl", she says lightly. "But sometimes it is nice to get a bit further away from it all."

Nancy considers this and smiles slightly.

"Not like London, then. I mean, you can get most things in London in walking distance and it's really a lot of little villages packed together... but big. You couldn't walk from one side to the other."

"They say London proper's actually tiny. Just the mile or so where the big banks are now. Westminster used to be a city of its own on the other side of the river, and everything else was just little settlements that got swallowed up into the city."

She returns the hand squeeze, looking pleased and contented, then looks towards the trucks curiously.

"Food truck?"

Nancy listens carefully to all he says, rambling or not, although she does look a little confused at the 'gummy worms and marinara' reference, and nods when he comes to a halt.

"I've never had Mexican, I'm looking forward to it. I don't think we have people selling food out of trucks like this, either, but it's a good idea. Must save on rent."

Nancy is laughing at the interplay between Gus and Julio, then smiles up at Gus. "Um, I don't know how big they are. Let's get two and more later if we're still hungry."

"They look delicious", she says to Julio, peering over the counter, and she's not just being polite. The horchata machine gets an assessing look. "Depends. What is it?"
