This section really impressed me. You have little, almost irrelevant details that make it a joy to read, and I could so believe that Sam would make his point using these analogies.

They're both math geeks. Anyone who stops to try to work out the probability of a reporter getting called in a poll, is a math geek. *g*

To me it works wonderfully well as a dialogue driven story, because that's how the characters are - words are important to them.

Thank you. It's always a concern I have with WW fic is that it's all dialogue. Personally, I love stories where you get that physical sense of what they're doing, of where they are, blended into the rest of the story. When I write WW, I get an idea of the dialogue, but have more trouble with the scenery. And I have the fear that it'll end up sounding like, "Sam said...; Josh said...; Sam said...;" and really boring.

So, basically, a big hug for the reassurance!

I loved the little word play in Josh's mind: Or maybe that should have been a pretty, lousy friend, Josh thought, and the way he flirts with the waitress.

Yay! I wasn't sure if it would work (the pretty thing), so yay. And, he's a natural flirt. Josh can't help it. Although, I have to say that Sam's pretty charming too.

A couple of typos spotted...

*grrrr* You have no idea how many times I edited and reposted this entry, because I kept spotting little mistakes. At least I seem to have picked up on most of the tense changes.

Thanks for pointing those two out. *g*
