Yes, she has had enough fun at your expense.

“Right, I hope enjoyed the evening.” You take Ashley’s offers to end the game and begin to dress.

“Well, uh, ok, thank you.” She stutters a bit unsure what to say.

Once dressed you head for the door, “I will of course keep my word, and will talk with the partners tomorrow.”

As you walk out Ashley feebly waves “night.”

The next morning you keep your word and convince the partners that Ashley be placed on the casino case. Over the next few months her attitude changes towards you. She still gives you a hard time, but it is now more of a friendly ribbing, even flirtatious in nature.

At first your pride keeps you a bit aloof, but her warm new pleasant nature wins you over and you become friends.

Finally, you prepare to ask her out, but that is another story.

Fini.
