"I like him. He's funny." "Maybe, he might come back," Winter said gently. "Why don't you go finish up your homework? Is Matty done?" "No, he's still reading," Emily said, making an exit. "So, back to the subject at hand," Tristan said smugly. "Yes, back to the subject at hand," Winter said without missing a beat. "Back to what you said earlier. Do you think he'd make a good boyfriend?" She gave me a meaningful glance. "Yeah, I think so," Tristan said with a casualness that didn't deceive me. "Excellent. I'm glad we got that cleared up. What do you think, Eva?" I stared at her, shaking my head slightly. "Uh," I stammered. "I…don't know?" I looked at her helplessly. "Don't you think he's cute, Eva?" she persisted. "I… I guess." Man, these two were confusing. See what I have to deal with everyday? See what I have to put up with?!
