Oh these two. Iman smiles fondly at them. She can see she and Eliot graduated from the same class of incredibly un-casual and yet appropriately charming flirtation styles.

"Not easily," she says to Jay, softening her tone some. "It's going to take some time, without a doubt. But I don't give up for anything. You're right, if you don't want to cling to some - distant hope, I mean, you'll need to let yourself adjust, let yourself live here. But don't think it's forever. It doesn't have to be."

She hopes Jay finds this as genuine as she means it. It's not often she gets this genuine. She's relieved Eliot is here to keep things light in the meantime.

"That," she adds, pointing at Eliot, "is a solid plan. Get out, see things, learn about the new world. And look, you've already got friends to help you." She smiles and raises her glass in a small toast.
