I did hear. All the options are sure to impress anyone lucky enough to see them in person.

Option B

Perhaps A or C?

I'm not sure what you mean that you don't know?

I just don't know what to expect? Or, like, what it's like to date someone like him? Older... Accomplished...

You don't think Option B is... sexier? Oh gods that's inappropriate isn't it?

You say that as if you're not incredibly accomplished yourself.

I'm older. You have no trouble holding a conversation with me when we have coffee or lunch.

Yes Is B perhaps more of a second or third date outfit?

I suppose it is... If this gets to a second or third date, though. I don't know how into the idea I am... He seems interested, but

Which would you prefer? Like, if a woman you were taking out, first date...?

If it were me? I wouldn't be disappointed by any of them.

But I suppose I am drawn to B.

You are?

I bet you date women who'd show up very sophisticated and understated...

That's good to know. I suppose the women you date are wildly elegant, though.

I can count the number of dates I've been on in the last couple of years on one hand. Dating isn't my strong suite.

Wait, really? But you're like... you. But you're I'm surprised to hear that. I bet they were fabulous women, especially for so few to be... worthy

To make the cut.

Nothing like that. It's just never come naturally to me.

It can take me a while to see things as they really are.

What do you mean by — I'm sure you're better at it than you think. Most people just get really into their head about things; I can do that sometimes myself. Thus texting my boss about outfits on a Friday night...

Sorry, I hope I wasn't bothering you? More late night baking maybe? (Thanks again for the double chocolate biscuits today, by the way, they were so luscious.)

...

What do you mean by 'see things as they really are'?

Last night was a baking night. Tonight it's a drink and an old movie.

I'm glad you liked them. Let me know if you ever get tired of chocolate.

Just that I can be slow to realise that a woman is interested and nearly as slow to make a real move.

What are you watching? You'd let me know if I'm interrupting, right?

I don't think I could ever get tired of chocolate especially yours

Oh. That must be hard.

Um, I wasn't inappropriate to text you like this, was I? I just... I wasn't sure I wanted to say anything about tomorrow to my siblings, and they'd probably the ones I texted with something like this normally.

They can make a big deal out of things sometimes and I'm not sure I'm sold on dating this guy considering my boss is the sweetest, hottest, most attractive man I've ever met even though he's made it perfectly clear I'm totally not his type and never would be in a million years so I don't know about dating anyone else until I can get it through my thick blond head that I need to get over this crush --

Singin' In The Rain. I may have a thing for old musicals. If you were interrupting, I'd just put my phone on do not disturb and not reply.

You're never interrupting, by the way.

I actually look forward to your messages, though I can't say I was anticipating this particular topic. Are you nervous? He'd be an idiot not to enjoy your company.

Old musicals. That actually makes a lot of sense. Though I don't think you ~ever put your phone on DND.

Um, I don't think I'm so much nervous. I really don't know that I'm into the idea of dating him.

When was your last first date?

Does it? I suppose I can't make spreadsheets and calendars my whole personality. Outside of work, I'm all broody photos, cooking and classic films.

You don't seem so sure about that? Do you need me to be your back-up? Call you after half an hour and give you an excuse to leave if you need it? I bet I can can do a great sick grandmother voice.

About six months ago. There was only a first date.

Something about baking, old hollywood, a good drink, and the broody photos... it all just fits makes sense.

I would love to hear your sick grandmother voice sometime! I bet you're very method.

But no, I mean, he seems like a fine guy. Little rough around the edges maybe, but not a creeper. If I do need to bail out, can I text you?

One date in SIX months?! That just seems wrong.

I'm glad I make sense to at least one person.

Of course you can. As if I'd want to stop you

It does. I should do something about that.

You do. Never worry about that; you're not alone.

Thank you. Not that... not that I think it'll be a problem.

Yeah. I guess I mean um Sure. You should. Eyes on anyone? please say no You should ask her out.

Yes. But whether I should ask her out is something I might be overcomplicating.

I don't want anyone to think I'm taking advantage as a producer.

There's always a chance I could be too late.

Oh So it's So it's someone at work Oh

Well, good to know I'm not the only one who overthinks thing, lol.

I can't imagine it would be too late. You're you, why would someone walk away from a chance like that, you know?

Because I'm an idiot who takes far too long to realise someone is flirting and apparently needs his sister to point it out.

That... sounds like a problem.

I should probably let you get back to your movie. I'll see you on set on Monday?
