"I think I know you a little better than that," Tahiri said. "Just a couple of people. And lots of ice cream," she added, grinning.

"The ice cream is required," he said solemnly. "I don't think I've even met half the people at Dinah's party."

"I was busy working on other projects," Ben said. "I didn't get out of the room much."

Other people call that hiding, Ben.

"Uh huh," Tahiri said. She would definitely call it hiding. "I'm starting to think I'm going to have to come by and make sure you see the sunlight more often."

Ben's cheeks went a little pink. "Sometimes."
