[Luckily (or perhaps unluckily) for Skye, Alex is rather aware of people who laugh in that fashion, so she is definitely taking the entire thing as a laugh. After all, the laugh seems like it would be really rather in place on Skye's face at the moment, and she's glad for it. More than that, however, Alex happens to be quite good at reading people. It's in her job description, and despite what people may think of her, Alex is actually quite good at doing that part of her job. So, when she watched Skye, Alex could definitely see the fondness in the woman's face, and it reminds her of herself. If nothing else, Alex would say that Skye had a crush, but one that seemed to be heading rapidly towards something that was more than that.

And going by the picture, Alex would suggest that she wasn't alone in that sort of situation, because she studied it as Skye did the same thing. It definitely didn't seem like her friend was reading the situation wrong. Not by a long shot! That said, Alex didn't judge her friend for not seeing it, Alex had been told for literally years what her feelings were towards someone (and what their feelings were towards her) by strangers on the internet constantly, but she'd completely discounted them. She wasn't surprised that Skye had done similiarly or did do similarly rather.]

Well, [Alex began with a smile and with bumping her friend in the shoulder for a minute.] I don't think you're reading it wrong at all. I think he definitely seems really into you! So, yeah, look at it as a vacation for as long as you want to, and then jump into it from there. He looks like a sweetheart, and you definitely deserve more than a little bit of vacation romance!
