"But... I mean, I barely know the guy," she said, running a hand through her hair. "And wouldn't that make it awkward for you? If your best friend was dating a guy who's practically your brother?"
She looked over at him and softened, leaning back. "I won't do it unless you say it's okay," she said quietly. "I promise."
She seemed annoyed, raising an eyebrow. "But you're my best friend," she said flatly. "And I want to make sure you're okay with it."
"That's why I explained the situation. Honestly, Gabe, just tell me yes or no so we can move on with our lives."
She seemed agitated at this point. “Fine, then. I’m going to go on a date with him unless you say anything to change my mind.”
