"M-Mr. Wales? You wanted to see me?"

Her words jolted me from my trance and I immediately returned to presence.

"Oh, ah... I did want to see you," I nervously stumbled over my words. "I mean ah, well, yes. I wanted to see you - I mean speak to you." She smiled at my nervous attempt to speak, but I knew she was just as nervous as I was. "I mean... I mean call me Jimbo. Jimbo Wales. You don't need to call me Mr. Wales."

She smiled serenely again, a lock of her blue hair falling over her eye. She gently brushed it back into place.
