It's been a year since we've last had a ladies night and we are overdue. Who's in?

[ Although the last time, boys still showed up. Kate probs won't turn anyone away if they really want to be there. Probably. ]

[abrightboy]

She's just hostile when people are in a public place where she wasn't expecting them?

private forever

[bossyboiler]

Oh. You mean Yelena?

[abrightboy]

That's the person who was hostile for no reason.

[bossyboiler]

She's not hostile. You just have to get to know her better.

You never answered my question, do you need some company?

[abrightboy]

I have company. Gil's back and Neal will be home soon.

[bossyboiler]

That's great that Gil is back. I'm happy for you.

[abrightboy]

He's going to stay at our house for a bit. Tim stays here too sometimes.

[See? He has lots of company. He doesn't need your hostile friends who totally didn't hurt his feelings at all.]

[bossyboiler]

I'm glad that you're not alone. Being lonely sucks.

[abrightboy]

[He considers her for a moment.]

Are you lonely?

[bossyboiler]

I've felt that way sometimes but I have some really good friends. Also, I've been seeing someone.

[abrightboy]

You have? Who?

[bossyboiler]

Have you met Adam Pierson? I like him a lot.

[abrightboy]

Um. I don't think so? What does he look like; where does he work?

[bossyboiler]

He works in research. Um. He's tall, dark hair, handsome. He has the cutest almost crooked nose.

[abrightboy]

I think I talked to a guy like that on the network once. You'll have to bring him to an actual thing and introduce us. Like. A coed event.

[bossyboiler]

The next time there is one, I will.

[abrightboy]

Like our housewarming?

[bossyboiler]

If he wants to go, yes.

[abrightboy]

Oh. Do you think he might not?

[bossyboiler]

I don't know. He's his own person and it's not like we're an official couple or anything.

[abrightboy]

...You're not?

[bossyboiler]

Well.

[ She's going to blush now. This is really a conversation that she should be having with Yelena. Guess she'll have it with Malcolm instead. ]

It's complicated. I like him but after my last relationship I need to be careful.

[abrightboy]

Why? What happened?

[bossyboiler]

Two years in a relationship and he up and ghosted me. I mean he removed every aspect of himself from my life. I don't know what happened to him.

[abrightboy]

"Are you sure he removed himself?" Malcolm asks. "Did he have any enemies?"
