"That's just reasonable," Alex assured him. "That boy band shit is so embarrassing."

"I actually like 'Rock My Kiss,'" Annie offered, looking like she was resisting the urge to judge herself for that. "I do. It's kind of a bop." Just a very, very, very firmly 2010ish bop.

"Really?" Alex prompted. "Because I thought it made you puke."

Annie looked puzzled for a minute before immediately blushing scarlet all the way down to her neckline. "Oh my God, I bring my fiancé here one time and you bust out the embarrassing shit."

Good job, Annie, now no one would want to ask any follow-ups. Way to defuse that.
