To the casual observer, this conversation would be incredibly boring, but Iris was having the time of her life discussing these points with someone who clearly knew what they were talking about, and it was getting her more and more entranced by this gorgeous man.
“So many niche tax credits… the EIC, the AOC & CEC, the BOFA, the FIC…”
Iris raised her eyebrows, “sorry to interrupt, but what’s BOFA? I’ve never heard of that acronym. Sorry, I probably seem so dumb right now.”
“No, this has actually been quite an enlightening conversation. The BOFA refers to ‘both of these nuts’ of course,” he said it in such a serious tone it took Iris a while to realize what he had just said. She stared at him, unable to decipher his meaning. Was he flirting with her? Or was he just making a really dumb joke… he raised a single eyebrow, causing her to burst out laughing.
“Could you repeat that?” She asked, still chuckling.
“I said… it means both of these nuts,” he repeated in a slightly deeper voice.
