When she laughs, Mike can't help but feel good.  She is so beautiful,but when she smiles, he thinks she just goes off the charts.  But for the first time  in his life, it seems to be so much more than that.  She actually makes him feel good about everything.  It seems like nothing else matter now.  If he didn't feel these things himself, he would think it was a scene from a movie, or a chapter in a romance novel.  But it was much more  than that, much more personal and real.<br/><br/>Mike can't help but look at her when she talks, or when she doesn't talk for that matter.  Her eyes, her smile, the way her nose crinkles when she laughs, hell, even the laugh itself drives him crazy.  He catches himself staring, and quickly glances at his watch, hoping she hasn't noticed his eyes.<br/><br/>"Sydney, I don't know if you can afford NOT to take the time off for this interview.  You don't look like the type who would not at least give your all to find out what it's all about.  And in the 10+ more years I've been around that you, I've learned that structure is waaaaay over rated" he says while putting emphasis in his voice and gesturing with his arms.  "When there's too much structure, you tend to lose yourself sometimes.  And I would certainly hate to lose you."  He reaches over and playfully kisses her cheek.<br/><br/>"Wow, did I really do that?" Mike says, half way out loud, half way under his breath. He surprised himself even.  But it felt so right on the inside. He gazes into her eyes, anxiously awaiting her reply.
