It's a flyer for a live Jazz band playing at popular spot downtown.
She doesn't even like Jazz that much.
"What is this?"
"Well, the title...explicitly states…"
I shoot her a look. "I can read Isabella."
She rolls her eyes at that. "Alice wants to go see them over the break and I was wondering if you've seen them? Would I be wasting my time if I went?"
Logically, I know she doesn't need my opinion. She could wing it, as she often has in the past per our previous conversations.
So while she doesn't need it, the fact that she wants it…
Nope. Not going there.
"I have been there to see them. It's a rather intimate space, though. I, uh...wouldn't recommend that scene for you."
Her eyebrows lift in surprise. "You wouldn't recommend it because the space is intimate?"
"Well, it's mostly couples that go…"
"And you're assuming I'm single?"
I'll kill her if she isn't. If she's actually dating that oaf...
Check yourself. "You mentioned Alice wanted to go, so I assumed that you were only going for her. I don't care what you do or who you go with." I stuff the rest of my papers in my bag. "Maybe you're dating Alice."
She laughs. "I could be, but she's not my type. Anyway, forgetting the ambiance, are they any good?"
"Yes. They're really good. Now if you're done laughing at my expense…" I quickly grab my things and move around my desk to leave.
Seeing my exit, she moves to block my path, palm out in front of her.
"I do have another question for you."
