I8DT - I drank coffee, and it STILL isn't popular in England

[Ross Jacobson]

"Well, it's worth a try, right?" he offered, hoping he was digging himself out of the hole he'd fallen in.

[Isabel Galen]

"Maybe." Isabel said "We should try it out sometime. I mean, if you want to."

[Ross Jacobson]

"Well hey, if I can help, that'd be good. Being invulnerable has to be good for something, right?"

[Isabel Galen]

"Yeah" Isabel said "Even though I'm sure its good for more than just that."

[Ross Jacobson]

"Well, I did save a bridge from a bomb once..."

[Isabel Galen]

"That was you?!?"

[Ross Jacobson]

"I... uh... don't know. Did the story you heard involve the guy... laying on the bomb when it went off?" Ross asked, wincing slightly.

[Isabel Galen]

"Yeah, it did." Isabel said "I thought it was so brave, putting your body on the line like that."

[Ross Jacobson]

Shit, change gears, she liked it... "Well, it wasn't easy to just do it like that, but I just wish there'd been a better way to do it. I mean... I'm kind of surprised the bomb didn't just blow me off of it."

[Isabel Galen]

"Sometimes, you just have to try something and see if it works."

[Ross Jacobson]

"Yeah. Which is why I'm here. And so far, I'm getting pretty decent at being a human shield for things," he joked.

[Isabel Galen]

"So anyway, my shift is about to start, but maybe after that?"

[Ross Jacobson]

"Want to give me a call if you get something you want to try passing off to me to see what happens? I'm pretty free for the afternoon," he offered.

[Isabel Galen]

"Sounds awesome." Isabel said.

[Ross Jacobson]

"Great," Ross said. "Well, I hope that you have a quiet shift because people getting hurt sucks, but I'll keep my phone on," he said, writing his number on a napkin.

[Isabel Galen]

"Sounds awesome." Isabel said, pocketing the napkin.
