Hmmm.

He smiled at Lexi.

Again.

This was the second time, and he did not so much as give her a second look. What was wrong with this picture? She dropped two lumps of sugar in the cup and she looked at him...

Was he... toying with her? If he was... he would find out why hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...

She tried to figure him out... and then it dawned on her.

He didn't want the others knowing about his attraction to her. OF COURSE! That wouldn't be at all that professional. That's why he wasn't looking her way... Lexi would know for sure then he was wooing Hecate. There really was no other explanation. Very well... she'd play along. For now.

"Cream?" She asked, her wand still raised, the cream pitcher dangling above his cup.
