Summary: “Alright, fine,” said Andy, and Nile’s free-fall spiraling thoughts came to a halt, climbing back up to a bearable altitude. “Teach me then. Show me the ways of 21st century dating.”
“What, me?” asked Nile.
“There’s no one else here with that experience, is there?”
When Andy has to go on a Tinder date to get intel from a mark, and proves to be shockingly bad at it, it's up to Nile to show her how it's done.
Reccer's Notes: What starts as Nile demonstrating 'modern dating techniques' for Andy so that she can complete a mission becomes an opening for Nile and Andy to become closer... which eventually becomes even more. This is a well-written, well-told, believable Andy/Nile story.
