"Hey this is Mike Ross. I'm going to be in town next week. I was wondering if you happened to have time if you might want to grab a drink?"

It was wasn't until Harvey's secretary knocked on his door to inform him that she had set a client meeting for the following morning that Harvey snapped out of it and realized he had been staring blankly at is phone for the past several minutes. He was confused. And hurt. And a bit angry. It wasn't the fact that he hadn't heard from Mike in the past 6 months; Harvey knew that was as much his fault as it was Mike's. The reality was that maintaining a friendship across the country was hard and awkward. The banter that came so easily to them in person just felt forced over the phone. No, what he was stuck on was the wording. "Hey this is Mike Ross." Like he no longer had his number stored in his phone. Like he didn't know it by heart. Not even just "Mike" but Mike goddam Ross. Apparently they were no longer on first name basis. Not only that but he asked if he would want to grab drinks. Like even if Harvey was free he still might chose not to see him. Did Mike really think that little of him? Hell, he didn't care if he had time or not, he would always make time for Mike. He wished Mike didn't doubt that. He wanted to just relish in the excitement of seeing his friend, and instead he was left wondering if Mike even still saw them as friends.

Harvey had been thrilled to see Mike's name appear on his phone. The moment three years ago that Mike told him he and Rachel were moving to LA he knew his life wouldn't be the same. He supported Mike. He even understood the need for him and Rachel to start over somewhere new, where they could focus on each other and the profession they loved without the weight of the past. And he tried to tell himself he wasn't devastated. But he had made enough progress with his new counselor Julie to know that wasn't true. Afterall, Harvey could count on one hand the number of people in his life he had known he could trust. His dad was gone, Jessica left the firm to move to Chicago, and then Mike moved across the country. That just left Donna. And even though things were normal between them again every day Harvey wondered if it would be the day Donna once again told him she wanted more; and this time that more would take her away from him too.

"Mike Ross? Doesn't ring a bell. Where do I know you from again?"

"We used to fight crime in too tight leather costumes and capes. Come to think of it no one ever told us what the capes were for but I'm sure they were essential to the crime fighting."

"Kidding Robin, not like I dropped your number. I've always got time for you kid, just tell me when."

"My flight gets in at 7:15 tomorrow so any time after that, I should be there for awhile."

"I'll have Ray pick you up from baggage claim. Welcome home."

"Thanks Batman."

"What has you smiling?" Harvey didn't hear Donna come in, and was about to ask her what she was talking about before he realized he did have a huge stupid grin on his face.

"Just getting a chance to catch up with a friend."

"Well we both know I'm the only one delusional enough to be friends with you..that can only mean one thing, Mike's coming to town!" By the time she got to the end of her sentence Harvey wasn't the only one wearing a grin. But her face fell with her next words. "But without Rachel?" she asked worried.

"He didn't mention it specifically but I think it's just him, not sure why he's in town." In truth, Harvey had been too pleased that he was going to in town at all to think to ask why.

"I'm glad you're getting to see him again Harvey" Donna said, giving him a warm look. As she turned back towards her office Harvey thought he saw a glint in her eye he didn't understand.
