Just as the Elf Princess's team settled at their table, Sari leaned in, her eyes shining with curiosity. The question she'd been holding back tumbled out, "So, how and when did you guys meet?"
"Well, it's—" Laura started, the words already tripping on her tongue, but Frank cut straight through it.
"The arcade."
Frank's direct answer made Laura's face immediately bloom red, like a sudden fever.
"Oh..." Sari replied, watching Laura's embarrassed flush intensify. Then, Sari grinned. "That's actually so cool."
"Huh?" Laura looked utterly lost.
"That's expected," Sari elaborated, shrugging. "Frank and Tyler wouldn't be going anywhere but the arcade, right?"
"Aren't you... disappointed that a girl like us was playing there?" Laura asked, her voice small.
"Huh? Why would I be? It's totally normal," Sari replied.
"W-What?"
"You heard me right," Sari repeated.
