Oh…maybe she didn’t want my help anymore.
I was just about to tell her to forget it when she said, “I don’t think I'm ready to talk to Alexis yet. I'm just getting to know her. I don't want to ruin things too soon."
"We could still work on them,” I offered, hoping she wasn’t just trying to let me down nicely. “Maybe once you have a pitch you're comfortable with, you'll realize how waiting forever to get your work out there is really doing a disservice to the whole film-loving community." I ended by giving her my most innocent smile.
“A disservice?” Kate laughed and shook her head. "Okay, fine. I could get together tonight after work. Maybe you're right. Maybe I'll change my mind if I actually have something to work with."
"Well, if I ever get done here, tonight will work for me…though I was hoping to watch the show when it actually airs."
Her face lit up. "How about we do both? I've always wanted to watch someone watch himself on TV. It should be fun."
I tried not to let myself think about how awkward that might be and told her that it would be great. Then she walked off, her black heels clicking all the way down the hall, and I went back to my chair. And as I continued my pickups, I tried not to think too much about how my spirits had seemed to brighten right about the time Kate and I had made plans.
Yeah, that definitely wouldn't be a good thing to think too much on.
