Jim now, and not Rich? Her reasoning is odd, but who cares? This is fun.
He had started to smile as Oliver said his name, doing the automatic raising of his hand that men do, anticipating a shake. And then he falters at 'not-boyfriend', and a look of pure hurt crosses his face, backed up with an involuntary glance at Tess.
'Um. Well, I'd agree, but I didn't know I was a not boyfriend.'
His accent is a little more broad, and in a slightly lower register. When Oliver was dumping his bag, Jim had run a hand through his own hair to fluff it up a bit. His eyes are wide and soft.
'Nice to meet you too, Oliver. You have a lovely son.'
