anyone else and very much to do with not wanting everyone else to begin
having drinks on Fridays to discuss their Functional Adult
Relationships.
Not that he isn't still concerned they might. They
might.
But he probably won't get left behind if they do. They'll let him
come along and be the whatever-odd-numbered wheel if he wants to. That's
family. Probably. As far as Alistair understands it--since Jonas, bless
him, stuck dealing with Alistair's numb and hot-faced I thought family
was supposed to accept you no matter what, had managed an awkward
I don't know what to tell you instead of a life-altering
everyone is out for themselves.
This is a very Disney tag. Let me make it worse by saying that
Alistair ducks his head down to gobble against Lucci's neck to tickle him.
