He always has been more than a little transparent, when it comes to her. But he wouldn't have said it, if he hadn't expected that she'd know exactly what he was thinking of, and he takes the grin that follows as a good sign, even if he doesn't push any further. He knows where the boundaries are, and they have time yet to reassess the idea, he figures.
(That and he's not really in any hurry to get to that part of their relationship. Or rather, isn't so much so that he can't continue to wait.)
Not that he's in the least bit ashamed, to judge by the grin of his own that follows, but he lets the topic stand at that.
"I suppose it might be nice to know what we're seeing. But really, Helen, part of the point of a vacation is to relax."
He's aware, of course, that she has never really seemed to be entirely able to, and more so these past months. But as far as he's concerned that's all the more reason to find time to simply enjoy themselves, and not have everything neatly pinned down, for all that it's a gentle sort of needling, this time.
