I walked into the coffee room and saw that Brad was writing something on a piece of paper. When he saw me come in, he slipped the note out of sight .
Trisha: Hey, what's up?
Brad: Oh, nothing .
Trisha: What were you writing?
Brad: (Laugh) All right. You caught me in the act . I finally worked up the nerve to ask Diana out. I was just writing a note to put on her desk.
Trisha: You mean you're going to ask her out in a note? You big chicken !
Brad: I admit it. I'm a wuss . I just can't do it in person .
Trisha: But, you work with her everyday.
Brad: That's different. When I'm working, I'm in a different frame of mind . But, when I even think about asking her out, I get tongue-tied . At least in a note, I can get the words out without turning beet red .
Trisha: You've dated a lot. What's so different about Diana?
Brad: Well, for one thing, she's gorgeous . She's so upbeat and sweet . Who doesn't like her? Oh, I don't know. All I do know is that I think we have great chemistry together. But, what if I'm wrong. Maybe she's just been nice to me out of courtesy and doesn't think of me that way . Oh forget it. This was a bad idea.
Trisha: Well, I guess you don't want this note, then.
Brad: What note?
Trisha: I was looking for you to deliver this note from Diana. She wants to know if you want to go to the office party with her tomorrow night.
Brad: You're kidding! I can't believe you've been standing this entire time and didn't say anything.
Trisha: Sorry. What can I say? Now, do you want the note or what ?
Brad: Yeah, I want the note.
Trisha: Have a great time tomorrow night.
Brad: Thanks. I plan on it.
