Jim found himself alone with Ali.  "Well...I guess she still doesn't feel comfortable with me," he said to Ali as they watched Bree climb the stairs.  "I guess it was too much to hope that a simple birthday gift was atonement enough.  At least she liked the gift, so that's a start."  Jim became quiet as he pondered what to say to Ali now that they were alone in the living room.  "Listen, Ali...about calling our get together tomorrow a date.  Let's face it, dinner and a movie is a date.  But I don't want you to feel any pressure.  I would like to date you if and when you are ready for it, but I am not about to rush you.  If you need to figure things out first, let me know and we'll keep things friendly."  Jim lowered his voice.  "If things have changed you can tell me...since there is some of Bree's lipstick on your face and vice versa.  I won't be upset."
