Monday
"Hello. Do you mind if I take a seat? Thanks. You're Andrew, right? Mr. Higgins told me all about you, said you're one of the best employees around here. I'm Julia. I just got transferred from D.C., and I'll be working with you on the McClintock Project from now on, nice to meet you. Hmmm... did I say something wrong? That look in your eyes... oh shit! He didn't tell you in advance, did he? Sorry, I didn't mean to put you in a bad mood. I know you've been at this for ages now so don't think my presence here is to take credit from all your hard work so far. No, I'm here because Mr. Higgins believes I can bring a fresh perspective to things so give me a chance, will you? Why don't you bring me up to speed over a cup of coffee? Don't know where the machine is so... do you mind? Black for me, thanks."
Tuesday
"Good morning, Andrew. Did you sleep *yawn* well? I barely did because I was busy studying all the reports you presented in the last three months. Some really great stuff there. Mr. Higgins was right about you. Nonetheless, I have a few notes I would like to discuss with you but I can't do that if I can barely keep my eyes open. Thank you so much for yesterday's coffee. It was great, one of the best I ever had. I really hate to ask again but could you...? Awww, you're a sweetheart, thanks again."
Wednesday
"Jesus, my feet are killing me! Do you have any idea how lucky you are you weren't born a woman? I know what you're going to say. I don't have to wear high heels if I don't want to and you're right, but you seriously can't tell me these don't look great on me. Anyway, I hope you're as excited to work today as I am. I had this wonderful idea just as I was about to go to bed and... What? You thought I was going to ask you to bring us coffee? Well, I wasn't but since you mentioned it... continue to be a dear for me so we can get this show on the road."
Thursday
"Hey, already here? It's great to see you so committed to this again. Thank you for that last e-mail you sent. I completely agree with what you said but you do realize we're going to have to change the primary strategy going forward in order to implement it, right? That will probably mean overtime but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. In the meantime... great, you remembered it! God, why didn't have this coffee back in D.C.? It really is something, thanks!"
Friday
"Hey, any plans for tomorrow? I was thinking of going sightseeing, get to know this new city and all... You've lived here most of your life, right? I'm sure you know all the cool places so... care to be my guide? Unless you're hanging out with your girlfriend, or something... No? Cool! Then let's... Ah, I see. Game night... humph... What is it with you men and basketball, anyway? Okay, forget I said anything. Let's just get back to work and... hmmm, where is it? You didn't forget my coffee, did you? Oh, you really did! After yesterday, I hoped that wasn't the case at all but... it's fine but please don't do it again. Just go get it while I get things ready, okay? Thanks again!"
Saturday
"Hello, Andrew. I bet you're surprised to see me here, huh? Well, so am I, really but the funny thing is I realized we're practically neighbors. Okay, so maybe a couple of miles apart isn't "practically neighbors". I just... just wanted to talk to you, you know? Mr. Higgins called me today to see how things were going and he didn't seem too happy about our progress. Sorry, I should have probably have waited until Monday but... may I come in so we can discuss things further? How's the game going? Lakers still blowing it? What? I mentioned that I don't get the basketball fascination, not that I know nothing about it. I may be blonde but I'm not entirely dumb, mister! Yeah, I'm teasing you, how's that working out? Before I forget, here! Yeah, it's coffee from work. I'm really getting addicted to this thing. Could you get me a fresh cup, please? Oh my, I really love what you've done with this place! So glad you don't live in a man-cave but isn't that TV overkill? I hope you're not trying to compensate for anything else with that... Thanks for the cup. Ready to hear me out?"
Sunday
"Wake up, sleepyhead! I don't know how long you usually sleep on Sundays but it's already 10 am so get your lazy ass off the sofa! What am I still doing here? You invited me to stay over, remember? Yeah, the conversation went on for ages and you were kind enough to not let me walk out the door when it was raining cats and dogs. There's still some coffee left so be a dear and warm it up for me while I try to untangle my hair. Oh, and you should consider changing your mattress, okay? It was too hard for me last night. When you're done, get dressed and let's go for that walk you owe me."
Monday
"I had a lot of fun yesterday, Andrew. Thanks. You didn't have to buy me those new shoes, but I'm glad you did which is why I I'm wearing them. I know you wouldn't mind staring at them all day long but this is not a fantasy world and there are deadlines coming up. As you can see, I already have the whole day planned out so I have something to show Mr. Higgins tomorrow. The only thing missing is my coffee so you know what that means, right?"
Tuesday
"Yes! He really liked what we came up with, it seems we finally got this project back on track again! Why the long face? Still upset I did the presentation without you? Hey, come on! It's not my fault he changed the appointed hour on such short notice. I called you about a million times and you didn't answer any of them! What was I supposed to do? Let it all go down the drain? No, Andrew! You don't get to be angry at me for doing what was right in this situation. I'm pretty sure I saved our asses today so you could give me a smile and be thankful for a change, okay? At least, you didn't forget my coffee. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got another report to work on. Talk to you soon."
Wednesday
"That's the way I like my coffee, Andrew! I'm pleased. Yeah, the report is going smoothly, and no, there's nothing you can do to help me right now... unless you feel like bringing me another cup for the ride. You will? That's exactly what I wanted to hear."
