[ She's definitely coming across as a little unenthusiastic, which in turn makes Jim worry that he might be pushing too much, and making her uncomfortable in the process. ]

It's... fine. Never mind. [ He forces a light tone into his voice. ] I'll see you at the party, Mary.

I mean - yes. Yes, we can go out other times, if you'd like.

[ She wants him to know that before he cuts the connection. Of course, if this date is awful, Mary probably won't want to go out again, but they can cross that bridge when they get to it. ]

[winscenario]

I would, but only if you actually want to. You don't have to worry about upsetting me by saying no or something.

[ There's a pause. ]

Which-- I'm not saying you would, by the way. I just mean... we're still friends. And I like spending time with you, whether or not you're interested in something more.

We'll talk about it. [ Can he hear the smile in her voice? ] Don't worry, Jim. I'm excited to go to the party with you.

[winscenario]

[ He can, at least now. Her words reassure him too, and he smiles on his end. ]

Okay. I look forward to it too, Mary.

[thequitecontrary]

You as well. We'll speak soon. Goodbye.
