[He tries to catch her eye. But what would he do if he did? Then he'd be looking her in the eye! That's impossible right now! Nothing more fucked up has ever happened to either of them! So in the end, he looks away too.]
[ The thing to do... is just look at him sidelong and nod, fast and jerky. It's not quite eye contact, but hopefully he's looking enough to see the gesture. ]
Thanks for having me. --Uh. And I'll look forward to lunch.
