Oh. Well. That's good. For you, I mean. [That makes Richie feel a bit better, too. Hearing that it happened because...well, she genuinely likes him. It's flattering. Kind of. He's never actually had a girl make a pass at him, let alone flat out tell him she likes him. It's so...surreal. And for some reason a laugh bursts free that is soft, then louder. He can't help it. Something about this is so wrong it's hilarious.]
Man, if irony didn't exist in the world I would invent it right now.
