For a seconds, Jess thought he had stopped speaking intentionally and was about to leave like she thought he wanted her to when he started speaking again. With the pause he made, she wondered for just a moment if he was going to say something really significant to the two of them and watched intently, only to be let down when it was just a half-hearted remark about the match. The executive sighed outwardly this time, though she tried to do so quietly. "Yeah, it's something that takes practice, I guess. Putting yourself in someone else's hands, letting them put themselves in yours, and working together instead of always going your own way."<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>"Well, if you're around me enough, I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to hang out with and get to know him," she remarked, glad the two at least seemed to get along. It wouldn't be the easiest thing in the world if her best friend and her new girlfriend didn't get along at all, which wasn't totally uncommon as far as she knew. "Who do you normally hang out with, then?" she asked curiously. "Feel free not to answer that if you don't want to, though."
