Total transparency: I'm still contemplating including this choice, even though it's ridiculous and Button should get their head checked for taking that option. But the option also made me laugh? I'm conflicted as to its conclusion so figured I'd post it here for feedback.

Reese’s casual pronouncement sends your thoughts spiraling, brain morphing into that of an anxious undergrad Lit major asked to interpret one of Shakespeare’s more obscure phrase twists without being given access to Wikipedia: Thee werst expecteth. Or is it ‘thou’? Glitch would know.

But back to your original question: what does Reese mean? His general anticipation of your appearance at this party might be taken for granted, given that he was the one to issue the invitation. However, contextually . . .

Contextually, it sounds an awful lot like Reese is implying that he expected you to search his office. Which means he knows that you were going through his stuff.

Selected Choice: Aha, but I’m an optimist who finds Reese incredibly attractive! Perhaps I shall be screwed in an alternative fashion.

You’re very open to a more provocative interpretation. Why, one might venture to proposition that Reese’s statement of “expecting you” is merely a flirtatious overture! The fact that the current setting is a private office instead of the traditional boudoir somewhat undermines this theoretical supposition, but it's also true that within certain literary genres a desk is considered to be . . .
