Oh, I ADORED this! It's so lovely to see the early years of Harry and Bob's more business relationship and you've really captured both of them so well as you always do.

"Is your life always this tedious?" He asked. "Should I get used to this?"
"It sort of comes and goes," I admitted. "Sometimes things blow-up. That's sort of exciting."
" 'Blow-up'," Bob repeated. "Delightful."

HEE! Oh, come on Bob. It's totally delightful.

Lovely fic!

(oh, and this is lifeinsomniac, by the way.)
