Thank you! I was leaning sort of that way too... wasn't sure if Jake was way to over used in books after the whole Team Jacob thing though. hehehe
“Sooo…” he said looking around “How about those Phillies.”
“Wouldn’t know, don’t watch them.”
“Oh good then it looks like I don’t have to bullshit to sound like I know what I’m talking about.” He grinned and I couldn’t help but giggle a little. “So guess we should find a geekier topic to talk about. How do you feel about… cancer?”
I couldn’t help but start hysterically laughing. I was expecting him to say comic books, or star wars, not cancer! “Cancer? Really, that is your opening topic?”
He was giggling too, his face turning bright red as he looked back down at his cup, “I panicked… it was the first thing that came to mind. Don’t blame me I did my thesis on it, its just been stuck in my mind for the last two months.”
“I know what you mean. What was the research?”
“Scientists at Fox Chase Cancer Center have come one step closer to developing the first treatment to target a key pathway in lymphoma. I was one of the student researchers.” He smiled meekly.
