"Why don't you just get over her?"

He sighed. "I can't. It's not that easy."

Josh took another sip of his drink. "Why not?"

"I don't..." Danny looked around, then lowered his voice. "You have to keep this to yourself."

"Of course. Your secret is safe with me." Josh grinned.

Danny didn't. "Josh, I'm in love with her."

The grin faded. "But you can't be."

Danny sat silently.

"Oh, man." Josh whispered desperately. "That's a big mistake."

"I know." Danny sighed. "I wasn't supposed to fall in love with her. It's career suicide for both of us. But I can't help it. Every time I see her, or hear her name, I imagine us together."

"Eww. She's like my sister, man."

Danny blushed. "I didn't mean like that. Not that I haven't thought about..." He glanced at Josh. "Moving on. I just want to talk to her. Make her laugh, do you know how much I love making her laugh?"

Josh smiled. "We all do, Danny."

Danny nodded with a smile, acknowledging this. "True enough. I think I could spend the next year just talking to her, teasing her, and I'd be happy."

"So what's the problem?"

"Sometimes she yells."

"Ah, right."

"And while she's sexy when she yells, it's not a good thing. Then she won't talk to me, won't flirt with me."

"You think kissing her would help? Get it out of your system, move on?"

"No, it didn't help."

Josh stared at him. "What?"

Danny looked up and realized what he had said. "No, you're not getting details."

"You kissed our CJ, and we didn't hear about it? You're not talking about that one while you were Santa, right? Because that one doesn't count."

"Why wouldn't it count?"

"She didn't know it was you."

Danny thought this over and decided it made sense. "I meant another time. But I'm going to go. I have to actually do some work tomorrow, unlike you."

"Yeah, okay." Josh shrugged. "I'll see you later."

Danny paid his bill and left the bar.

Josh watched him go, wondering what to do.

Well, what should Josh do?

Josh should just give it up. There's a conflict there and he needs to just leave it alone.

Josh needs to talk to CJ, find out what CJ feels.
