There's a tiny voice in Alex's head that's telling him it would be smart not to go that close to Rachel. It's the same voice that tells him to avoid dark alleys, riots and political fundraisers.

"It went really well. The restaurant was great, she was gorgeous, and we played such a nasty prank on someone. It was everythng we hoped for." He smiles wickedly.
