He always loved how animated his girlfriend became as she spoke of things that excited her. It reminded him why he fell in love with her in the first place. But now was not the time to swoon over her gorgeous batting eyelashes. It was time to respond and show he'd been a good boyfriend and listened to her (Oops. He missed most of what she'd said).

"I am so sorry, Janey, but could you repeat that. I was a little too distracted by the batting of the eyelashes. You mentioned something about a customer and a lunch date? Do I need to be jealous of this person? Are they going to steal you away from me?" he joked as he kissed her cheek and led her into the apartment, going into the kichenette and starting a kettle for tea.
