Rian sat in the kitchen, shot in front of her. Iona walked in and sat down. “You alright?”

Rian smiled. “Yea, you?”

Iona shrugged. “We’ve gotta be.” She poured herself a shot. “I gotta ask, though, why did you save us?”

“You and Camilo are the stronger couple,” Rian replied.

“Is that the real reason?” Iona said, lifting an eyebrow. “Or is it because you and Camilo still have unresolved sparks?”

“I like all of you,” Rian replied, picking up her shot glass and downing it. “Feelings aside, if I were to choose the strongest couple to beat, it would be you and Camilo.”

Iona smiled. “I knew there was a reason I liked you.” She was quiet for a moment. “Did Miki say anything to you about me?”

“She requested that I look out for you,” Rian answered filling her glass again.

“Aw, so she wasn’t mad.” Iona sniffed. “She thought I was a decent friend, after all. We totally have to grab a coffee after summer all three of us.”

They clinked glasses and drank together.

“Thanks for letting me know.” Iona smiled and took the shot glass to the sink. “Are you finished with it, babes?”
Rian nodded as Iona washed up the shot glass. “I suppose we should head to bed. It’s been a long day.”
