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. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	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? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

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. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thebirdie 2022-01-22 09:02 pm UTC (link)
	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. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	niallquigley 2022-01-22 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	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. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thebirdie 2022-01-22 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	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? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

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

	thebirdie 2022-01-22 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	That... sounds like a problem. I should probably let you get back to your movie. I'll see you on set on Monday? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	niallquigley 2022-01-22 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	See you soon. (Reply to this) (Parent)
