Alicia scoffed. The idea of her getting a boyfriend was pretty hilarious to her. "I'll settle for a bloke I wouldn't mind shagging twice in a row, but thanks for the vote of confidence." She looked at him and colored a bit as he recounted his honesty with his girlfriend. "And she let you come to dinner with me after that? Good Godric, Lee. Well, glad you were honest, but you probably could have left off the snogs we've had in between girlfriends," Alicia added, laughing in earnest.
She ordered her drink-a martini-and sat back, thinking about the upcoming playoffs and how much was building to these weeks. "Thanks, Lee. I don't think that's true, but I appreciate the confidence none the less. Now, you need a lot more firewhiskies, as I won't rest until I have this story from you. I'm damn persistent, I know you know that's true."
