You should have seen the waitress flirting with him — it was over the top. But he didn’t pay any attention to her at all.

I tried to make my smile alluring, wondering if I was laying it on too thick. He smiled back, though, looking allured.

He’s so… intimidating. I wouldn’t know what to say to him.
