Ali was lost in her own thoughts and his words snapped her back to reality. It took a few seconds for her to look him in the eye, though, and she smiled. "Thank you and thank you for being a friend, Jim. I need one of those right now. I have apologized to her but I need to show her that I'm not interested in Will in any way but as a boss and as a friend. I should probably change the way I act as well. Not go out as much and well just change my ways completely, I'm tired of not having a real connection with anyone. I already poured out all the alcohol I had in my house, so that's a start." She smiled slightly.<br/><br/>"I don't want to be my father so no real partying for me anymore. I plan on apologizing to anyone I've ever hurt and I know Bree needs time away from me so I'm not going to bother her until she gets in touch with me."<em>Which I hope is soon</em>is what she thought to herself.
