"Your friend is so sweet," Gianna says to Nico as he walks back into the sitting room after Jamal leaves.
"He isn't, he's just trying to get into your pants." Nico rolls his eyes before sitting on the couch across to her.
"You are trying to get into my pants as well." Gianna raises an eyebrow at him.

"You are right, you will have to do so much more," Gianna says with a sweet smile on her face.
Nico half-smiles, the second he realizes he is smiling, he frowns.
"So you and Jamal have been having meetings a lot. Is this your way of coming out to us?"
