Note, this recollection will be much shorter than others. I recommend reading the background story (3 parts) here
It had been several weeks since our conference encounters and nothing had happened sexually since. We flirted a bit, but that was the extent of our non-work interactions. Hette and I had to go to Germany for work. Nothing special just a quick presentation to a client that was better done in person and a separate client visit simply because we were already going to be in country. Hette had not been to Germany and was genuinely excited about the trip. In making arrangements, I suggested we go a day early and stay and additional day to fit in a bit of tourism. Hette thought it was a great idea.
