"Hmm, cake or mousse?" Alex pondered, thrusting out one hand as if she was starting a monologue. "That is the question." Acting was another job she had, very briefly, tried. "It's a hard choice, but I'll have to say cake. And mousse after dinner of course," she winked.
"Of course we're going to get along fine," she agreed, nodding enthusiastically. "People are forbidden not to get along with me! I wouldn't stand it. But you're really lots of fun." Alex grinned. It was probably the biggest compliment she could make to someone, though maybe Erica wouldn't have realized it. It was so nice to meet someone who could laugh out loud without being forced to!
She winked at Erica. "It's too bad you're not working here, then. By the way, how long are you staying? Just don't tell me anything shorter than a week!"
