Charlotte leaned back, shooting Andrew a look, her eyebrows raised with just a hint of teasing. Andrew caught the signal right away, for once thinking fast. He stood up in a flash and pulled Shirley over, settling her firmly by his side, almost as if making a statement.
“Okay,” Shirley replied softly, still looking a little lost but immediately relaxing next to Andrew, a sweet smile blooming on her face.
Samantha just stared, stunned, needing a few seconds to catch up before glancing at Charlotte. “Wait, so… they’re…”
