Lylia put the teapot down and sat down across from him, laughing. "She is right, you know."
"You've been avoiding the relationship part of having two girlfriends by working too much."
Greg said, "I'm not trying to avoid it or anything..."
"I'm just... getting used to it because this is a new thing for me."
"I've never dated one person before, let alone two at the same time."
Lylia said softly, "That's why you need to try."
"Marina is being pushy because she knows you'll just keep putting it off if she doesn't. And to be honest, I think a real date would be nice for both of you."
"What do you think?" Greg wanted to know. "Don't you want to go out with me too?"
Lylia's cheeks got a little pink. "Yes, but I'm more patient than Marina, so I can wait."
"Also, it's fun to watch you try to figure this out for now."
"Greg said, "You're all plotting against me," but he was smiling.
"Yes," Lylia said with a smile. "Welcome to being part of a family."
"We plot because we care."
