"Hey there, what are you doing here?" A voice wafted over to them.
Chloe and Connor looked up together.
There was Cassie, lounging against the table, looking surprised. In the blink of an eye, she squeezed herself next to Chloe, getting so close their arms almost touched. Without a second thought, she snagged the fork right out of Chloe's hand and started digging into the fish. "Chloe, you're so unfair! How many times have I asked you out for drinks and you turned me down? Yet here you are, secretly munching on grilled fish with someone else, and you didn’t even invite me."
Chloe just gave a resigned sigh, clearly used to Cassie's antics. She simply grabbed another fork.
"So, how'd you find us here?" Chloe asked.
"I was tagging along with someone to TechTown nearby to pick up a voice recorder. He lost his and apparently that's the only place that has them," Cassie replied.
Just then, that someone showed up.
Chloe jumped up, "Dr. Winston!"
Winston chuckled, "Chloe, you ought to call me 'big brother' by now."
Chloe blushed a bit, "We've been friends for ages; it’s hard to suddenly change what I call you."
Winston had noticed Cassie stealing Chloe's fork earlier and eating happily with it. His heart sank a little. Wasn’t it obvious Cassie had a thing for Chloe?
Chloe offered, "Why not sit down and join us?"
Both guys hesitated, but since Cassie was already tucking in, she waved Winston over too. "Winston, don't be shy, we're all friends here."
