[ Alex just lets out a little sound of acknowledgement, because honestly Jeff she gets it. Really she does.]

As someone who has been in your shoes, Jeff, I feel for you. Honestly. But you never know what it's going to bring. I'd say overtly hit on him. Sometimes it's the only thing that works with someone who's an ass.

[Yeah, she went there.]

But yeah, definitely sounds like an nickname rather than an insult, because if you two started off hating each other? I'm willing to bet he can come up with something a lot worse than just calling you by that.

[bardish]

Yeah...

Like when he told me I should've become a stripper instead of a teacher.

[ Pause. He mulls over that insult again. ]

Okay, now I feel better about my chances with him.

Telling you that you should have become a stripper instead of a teacher seems a little... specific.

[Especially when you've got the body like Jeff does, let's be real. Alex's seen it. She's involved, not dead.]

Good. Take a chance, Jeff. What's the worst that could happen?

[bardish]

Oh... Don't ask me that. I could come up with a thousand different answers...

But I see your point! [ Pause. ] Thanks. For talking me through this.

[11calls]

Okay, fair. I get it.

[And Alex is just going to laugh, because well, her brain makes leaps of craziness sometimes, and this is one of those situations where it definitely would.]

Of course, that's what friends are for, Jeff. Let me know how it goes, okay?
