Re: Allison Hargreeves
With "A MISSION" in mind, Stephen choose to focus on that instead of the wibbly wobbly status of his feelings for Allison and their relationship/ex-relationship and where they now stood. He clearly enjoyed her company, even apart from the sex. He needed to navigate through this metaphorical mine field to come to a resolution somehow.
Right. Outside the chill of the night air helped to clear his mind a little, which he couldn't decide was a good or bad thing. He played the video he found.... it was just text of lyrics popping up in time to the music, and he held the phone's speaker close to his ear to listen to the melody.
Got it.
He entered and went straight to the bar to sweep up his martini... before taking a drink he joked with Allison, "Thanks to you and my photographic memory, this is going to be my earworm for the rest of the week." Sip.
