This story is a companion piece to 'Lost in Translation', 'Not Just Another Walk In The Park', 'Truth And Consequences', 'Chilly Returns And Warm Welcomes' and 'A Night At The Coronet'. I suggest reading those first. Also, a knowledge of poi922's stories 'The Dog Sitter' and 'A Valentine Encounter' may help explain a few things.
