"Thanks, but no thanks," she said taking great satisfaction in turning him down, especially consider there was a subtext to his word all too apparent by the casting off of his neck tie.

Inevitably someone was going to get throttled and Carol would only be too happy to volunteer to give Tony some much needed tough love.
