title: Romancing the Geek
author: Odell, Terry
description: Stephanie's lifelong dream is to design toys'sweet, cuddly toys. Instead, she's hired as a glorified typist. And not even with the rest of the marketing department, but way downstairs in the only available office, which she has to share with Brad, who's a total geek. A geek who's happy programming computer games full of explosions.
  They agree to ignore each other while Stephanie waits for a desk to open upstairs. But when Brad has girlfriend troubles?like he can't get Lianne, the cocktail waitress to notice him?he swallows his pride and asks Stephanie if she'll teach him how to talk to women. She agrees, but he's having trouble passing her exams.
