Kathleen eyed Pete nervously from the other end of her office, "Let's go." Pete said from his spot by her door. Kathleen stood up and pretended to tidy up her table so he could give her time to check her make up, but he stood there, watching her with a smile on his face.
After a few seconds she gave up the pretense, "Please could you excuse me briefly? I'll join you outside." She said without meeting his eyes.
"Why? So you can change your mind and bail on me?" Pete asked with a teasing smile.
"No, I just need to fix my make up." Kathleen replied seriously.
"Wow! When did you start caring about such things? Besides, you look good with or without this. But if you must fix it, then do it in the car." Having said that he strolled out of the office expecting her to follow, and she followed.
