Lori had come directly from the clinic, where he'd been helping organize the infirmary, to the party,though he'd almost thought about skipping it altogether. But he was still friends with Jamie, at least he thought so. And at some point he was going to have to see Dylan again. Plus, Scorpius might be there and he did enjoy his company. And Sandy would be going, so it would be easy enough to avoid Dylan if necessary.
There were already a good number of people around when eh arrived, and he felt his stomach clench when he saw Dylan. Dylan who didn't even notice him, and was talking--flirting, his mind insisted--with Allison. It hurt, though he'd known Dylan had already gotten over him.
Luckily, before he could do anything foolish, he saw Sandy and made his way over to his brother.
