"Fun. Yes. Fun." Zach repeated, still nodding. "Siblings? Yeah. Yes. I do. Have them. Siblings." He cleared his throat. Pull yourself together! he mentally slapped himself. "Uh. A few. Like... 3. Zeke is 18, Hannah is 17, and David is 14." He looked at her. "Wait... Who's nervous NOW?" He smiled in satisfaction. It wasn't just him. YES. He looked down at her hand on his and smiled slightly.
Kylie mentally panicked for a second. Her thoughts went racing. Two were legal adults now. And one was her age. She literally gulped, and then immediately turned red because of it.
WHY CAN'T I STAY NOT RED?! She tried to mentally reason with herself, seeing that her head was getting a little out of control,
Well, if they're anything like Zach, it won't be bad. Right?
"What are they like?" Kylie couldn't help but asking. It seemed that the table was getting louder. Kylie naturally reacted by getting a little closer and speaking quieter. Not anything that would be strange in a social setting, just closer than they had been before. Her glorious little hand stayed where it had been.
Kylie couldn't help but feel like Zach would have really nice parents, which made things a little easier for her. Plus, hadn't he said something about his mom always cooking for muggles who ran away? Well...her family was muggle...for the most part. That would probably really interest her. Or at least her cooking.
