Wonderful addition. I like the slight bit of awkwardness (Andy not wanting to scare Tom off by being too weird). It's very "first date" like to me!

I envy you your UK knowledge. I'm constantly googling and researching to differences in UK and US terms/laws/life etc... and nearly always coming up short! One time I spent nearly two hours looking to see what standard vacation days were given in the UK.

Can't wait for the next chapter!
