[ Ah... straight to the heart, and a direct hit. One corner of Michel's mouth twitches wryly. ]

The part of his mind that compulsively, reflexively works overtime dissecting every word and gesture of a conversation can stay sleeping.

And the fact that it is what you wish to believe isn't inconsequential, either. So... it should be attainable to do it again, shouldn't it?
