Dash's brainparent <3 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. The pictures were a perfect excuse in Rafael's opinion. He had been trying to figure out a reason to meet up with Dash after the wedding so when his mãe had suggested that he give some of the pictures to Dash, he jumped at the chance. The small bundle of moving photographs consisted of mainly him and Dash - from them on the dance floor, during the toast and so forth - but there were also a few where Dash was photographed with Rafael's mother, sister, older brother, twin, new brother-in-law, some family members he hadn't seen in ages.
Sitting there at a table as he waited on Dash on a fine Saturday, it occured to Rafa that none of his lady dates had even managed to meet a single member of his family whereas Dash had met practically all of them. And that nice thing? They each liked Dash. Not one of them suspected that Dash wasn't really his boyfriend and that the two had only met once before the wedding. Admittedly, Rafa liked him too but that was what was confusing the owlkeeper.
Had the ruse worked a little too well? |
