<strong>Jim</strong><br/><br/>Jim just wanted to dig a hole and crawl in.  The whole atmosphere in the room changed and he knew it was his fault.  And he couldn't even really apologize since it was the whole subject that made Bree sad.  He needed to change the subject and try to make Bree forget his massive faux pas.<br/><br/>"Point taken, Bree.  Discussion over.  Why don't I help you with dishes, since I seem to have made quite a mess here.  You did a lot of work creating this masterpiece, the least I can do is help you clean the dishes."  Even as he spoke, he was already clearing his plate towards the sink.<br/><br/>Jim was a roiling pile of emotions right now.  He had definite feelings for Bree, who liked Will, who slept with Ali.  And he had started to like the Ali he was getting to know, but that had been cut short.  He wasn't sure if could like someone who could do this.  But he also didn't have the whole story.  He would definitely have to find out the whole story.  Right now, however, he was in a bind.  He wanted to advance his relationship with Bree.  But he didn't want to cause her any more pain.  He was walking a fine line and he knew he just didn't have the skills for it.  Sooner or later he was bound to misstep.<br/><br/>
