[And this is why, even though Will isn't on the mailing list for Winger Fan: Fans at Large, Will will always consider himself a member of the Jeff Winger fan club. A member of the only club that matters, a personal one led and founded by the man himself. It's a much better connection than just talking about him to a bunch of other people.
Will won't be making any mentions about that bashful look, nope. He'll note it and keep it for later, the best portrait of Jeff to add to any memory palace, and wonder if he should have done this earlier. He'd thought they'd passed first date a while ago, but would it have been a good idea to do this earlier? Sometimes relationships were like cooking—they needed to simmer, to stew slowly, rather than be tossed on hot flame and cooked in record timing.]
No, no, you don't have to do that. I came up here for you, not her. [Will casts a glance over his shoulder at the door as he says, like she'll have just appeared there and heard him.] I'll be spending all night with her, anyway. We can spare some distance over lunch. It's not a problem.
[Dude needs his brotime, okay? He loves April and would do anything for her, but April needs time with her ladies the same as Will needs time with his gentlefellas. This is all good. But if Jeff actually has things to do that he wants to do, Will won't be too perturbed. He's assuming that's less Jeff saying he needs to go and more giving Will an out (or an in, as it were), anyway.]
