Out they go. (Tap tap tap.)

Out Sadde follows Isabella like a lovestruck puppy.

"Now we're outside."

"So we are. What do you want me to sing?"

"I dunno what songs you know."

"Pick a style, or an artist, or something."

"Do the Star Spangled Banner."

"Huh, not bad."

He grins. "I could've told you that."

"Yeah but I wouldn't've believed you."

He pokes his tongue out at Alex.

Alex retaliates in kind.

"Anyway, should we go back to school?"

"Unless either of you can think of something else to do in town, yeah."

"Not really. Are you gonna sleep in her room?" he asks Alex.

"Yeah."

"I figure I'll go to yours, give Alex more quiet," says Isabella.

"Oh, right, there's that." Is he happy that she's gonna sleep with him? Maybe.

"I will assume that she puts you on the floor overnight."

"Assume away."

"That's an interesting assumption."

"Behave, pet."

"Sorry, ma'am."
