Ricky smiled, and he actually put his arm around Lulu’s.

Irene frowned as she watched–he never did that with her before!

Feeling like he was getting overly enthusiastic, she joked nonetheless, “Ricky, did you know that Lulu has a boyfriend?”

“Come on, Irene–he’s just a younger brother to me,” Lulu said as she glanced at Ricky sideways.

Irene said nothing–it was just a reminder anyway, so that Ricky would not get any ideas.

“Not interested in puppies.” Lulu pulled her arm out of his and walked over to Irene.

Still, they heeded to a diner together, though Ricky was persistently trying to start conversations with Lulu. Eventually, Irene could not stand it and asked, “Not afraid of Lulu already, Ricky?”

Ricky shrugged. “I’m an adult. What should I be afraid of?”

Lulu pointed at a slice of beef just then. “Do you know what that shape looks like?”

“What?” Ricky asked.
