The museum had led to drinks, and drinks had led to dinner. Conversation with Aksel was easy, enjoyable and entertaining. He was affectionate, but not overbearing. A total gentleman.
As they took the subway back to Brooklyn, Brittany rested her head against his shoulder. She smelled lovely, like lilacs and honey and Aksel took the opportunity to savor her essence. He had been attracted to the spunky girl the moment she walked into the office for an interview. He gave her the job because she was very qualified for the position. In fact, had it been a blind interview, she easily would have blown the rest of the competition out of the water, but it certainly wasn't a blind interview - and Aksel had found himself immediately wanting the woman to be a part of his team. He couldn't help it.
