She thought that she would do this through text and avoid a potentially awkward in-person interaction.

He responded rather quickly and asked her to send him a picture of the sink.

There were a few different faucet types and he wanted to know which one he would be working with.

Instead of sending a close-up picture of the faucet, she sent one of herself.

The message was sent and now she just had to wait and see if he was at all interested in flirting with her.

She may have shot her shot but it did not land very well.

Her landlord didn't go for it and clarified that he wanted an up-close picture of the faucet and not her.

Penny knew that he was not picking up what she was throwing down.

She was okay with that and played it off all cool like nothing had happened and just said that it was her mistake.
