Harry absolutely would be threateningly tracing her fingers down Raine's jawline right now, except that Serena Joy has with a great deal of effort taught her that this is Not Appropriate For Group Therapy.

"I'm so glad there's someone fun here. Everyone in my group except Sinead is so boring."

How about she doesn't put Harry's attention on Lev or Marlo. "Glad I found you, then. I was starting to get a little — frustrated, shall we say — myself." 

Harry would definitely think Lev is so fun. Fortunately, she has no idea who he is.

"Mm. I'd like to see about making you less-- frustrated."

Jan is — a little bit more shy. 

"Hi," Lev says.

"Hi," Jan says, and then, "You... said you liked psychology?" 

"Uh. Yeah. You play softball?"

"Yeah." There's an awkward pause. "— sorry. I'm not good at talking." 

"I'm not good at talking either. Or softball."

Jan looks just as deeply uncomfortable as Lev does. "I don't know a lot about psychology. But I... could learn? If you wanted to talk about it." 

"I could. Tell you some things about the book I've been reading? If you want?"

Oh, good, something Lev will definitely be interested in that means she doesn't have to talk much. "Please?" 

Lev launches into an explanation of memory palaces. 

He is interesting, and passionate, and funny, and charming if you are charmed by odd nerds who care a lot about the strangeness of the human condition.

Jan, to her slight dismay, is charmed by odd nerds who care a lot about the strangeness of the human condition. 

Lev is charmed by girls who laugh at his jokes!

Marlo approaches Graham; she doesn't say much to him, which is fine, he's not looking to make her. 

He is sort of uncomfortably aware of how well 'approach the prettiest girl in the room, smile a lot, and don't make real demands on her or her time' worked before. (This is different, he tries to argue, she doesn't want to be here at all, she's using him as much as he's using her. He still feels vaguely like there's grime seeped into his skin.) 

Afterwards, Lev says, "Marlo, Marlo, Jan laughed at my jokes!"

He's bouncing a little.

Lev is very cute. "Jan has good taste." 

"She's really cute!"

Bounce bounce bounce. 

"Good!" he says, and shoves down his traitorous heart. 

"I actually maybe have a crush on a girl!"

"That's great, Lev, I'm happy for you." 

He is. He's also several other things but he is happy for Lev. 

Lev chatters about Jan all through dinner. It's kind of impressive since apparently she said about ten words to him. 

That is impressive. He listens to what Lev has to say about her just as intently as he listens to what Lev has to say about everything. 

(Stupid traitorous heart.)
