"Why am I dating Kevin instead of you? Well, for starters, he asked!"
"So you would have gone out with me if I had asked?"
"Lance, it's not like that -"
Lance's face was beet-red, and, despite the chilly temperature of the walk-in cooler, he was sweating.
"It's always like that! Guys like me-"
"Listen, Lance. You can stand in here and yell at me all day, but the fact of the matter is this," Jen said, "all of this started because I noticed a change in your voice. I didn't think that was normal, so I asked. I was concerned. But what isn't normal is you acting like a jerk. You're better than this." She stopped for breath, then abruptly said "I need to get back to work."
She left Lance in the cooler, alone with his thoughts.
