Jim nodded as Ali laid out her plans.  They were rather ambitious in that they involved changing her very way of life.  Jim had to admit that she could probably use a little change, but she was talking about becoming a whole new person.<br/><br/>"You know what, as a friend I would like to help you.  Let's take a look at what you are talking about.  First there's Will.  If I were you, for now, I would forget he exists.  Let Bree reintroduce him when she is ready for that step.  Don't "be his friend".  Bree won't be able to see the difference right now.  That's my advice anyway, take it for what you will, I'm obviously not the world's most suave socialite."<br/><br/>"As far as going out and partying, perhaps you should just change the kind of partying you do.  Bree loves musicals and movies.  Maybe you should give her ideas a try.  You are a social person Ali, staying at home is not your style and would soon make you go stir crazy.  Would you like to go to the movies tomorrow?  We can watch Thor, it's supposed to be good.  If this works out, we can build you a safer social calendar than you used to have."<br/><br/>Jim looked Ali in the eyes as he waited for her to answer.  They were beautiful eyes, although they were full of sadness right now.
