Jonny nodded. "Yeah."
"Well... maybe sometime... we could keep each other company... in a place other than here?" Chris's voice began to shake a little, and he could feel the sweat seeping through his palms.
Jonny stared at him blankly for a while, which he didn't take as such a good sign.
"Um... I'm... I'm not sure that... What I mean to say is... I don't think we're on the same page here." Jonny winced a little. Chris could tell he was trying to let him down easy, but it wasn't helping much.
