“So let me get this straight,” Angelita interjected into the threeway conversation of Wesley, Lena, and Connor. “You”—she pointed at Wesley—“don’t even remember her and you’re coming over here to gaze longingly at Lena?”
Wesley looked offended. Lena started protesting. Connor started laughing.
“I,” Connor said, “am going to like you, aren’t I?”
Angelita raised an eyebrow. “You see what I’m seeing?”
“That they’re hopelessly in love and can’t admit it?”
Lena blushed furiously. “That is not fair.”
Wesley looked back and forth between them. “Oh, no. You two do not get to gang up on us.”
Angelita’s black eyes danced. “I’ve got photographic evidence.”
Connor grinned back. “This I gotta see.”
In the end, it was an utterly lost cause to stop their alliance.
“Wesley, I had no idea you came over this much.” Connor waved a photo at his brother. “You two are actually cute together.”
“Aren’t they?” Angelita piped in. “This is my favorite.”
Lena tried to swipe the picture out of her hands. “Hey! You promised to burn that!”
“Never said when.”
Connor held out said picture to his brother of Lena and Wesley asleep together on the couch and gave a thumbs up.
