Alana didn't know about sex pollen, but she had noticed that this week was unusually ... frustrating, and her workouts weren't taking the edge off at allAnd now, to top it off, she had a vid from Even, her new stepmother. (If you could call her that. The chick was barely five years older than Alana, and Alana was choosing to regard Even's existence

Since Raleigh's room had Isabelle and... someone in it, Raleigh was trying to stay away. Mostly because she was terrifying even with everything happening this week.

Even then.

He perked up at a room with an open door, knocking lightly with hopes of somewhere he could hang out a little.

"Smother me with a pillow?" That would involve being close to him in bed. That way lay madness.

"Maybe just hit you with one to start with," Alana said, after mock consideration. "I don't really want you dead."

[notajaegerbomb]

"I'm pretty sure I don't snore at least," he replied with a grin. "My brother would never stop making fun of me if I did."

[not_a_moonie]

"See, so we'll get along perfect," Alana nodded. "Brother, huh? Is he coming out for the weekend?"

[notajaegerbomb]

"Yeah," Raleigh said with a grin that wasn't tinged with anything even hinting on flirtation. Thank god. "It'll be nice to see someone from home. You got family coming in?"

[not_a_moonie]

"My dad's wife," Alana said, rolling her eyes the tiniest bit. "I guess I'm just glad to have somebody coming, anyhow."

[notajaegerbomb]

"You could come hang out with Yancy and me if it sucks too bad." Yes, his name was Yancy. Raleigh got the good name.

[not_a_moonie]

"Maybe. You sure I wouldn't be crashing your bro bonding time?" Alana asked, smiling. She stretched out on her bed, head propped on hand.

[notajaegerbomb]

Raleigh took a moment to remember what the question was, mouth open slightly as he looked at her. "Uh, no. No, he'll understand."

He hoped.

Alana raised an eyebrow at him. "Sorry. Didn't mean to distract you."

[notajaegerbomb]

"I'm not normally--" This bad. Honest!

[not_a_moonie]

"What is it with this week?" Alana wondered. "It seems like everybody's twitchy."

[notajaegerbomb]

That got a startled little laugh out of him. "Twitchy is a good word for it."
