It makes even less sense that he would pretend to flirt with       someone with whom he was pretending not to have a relationship. Her early       hostility is understandable but not her later ease. If it were me writing       this I think I'd be trying to        establish two things - tension and desire. They really want what the company       offers - is the office amazingly glamorous? Don't they feel privileged to be       there but fearful of being caught out? Don't they really, really want to       impress and be accepted?        Then presumably they still really want each other but can't let that leak.        This scene should to my mind jangle with tension and unease and I don't think       it does right now.               As always take my view with a pinch of salt: it isn't my story.              Nicky       >        >               --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
