He snatched an appetizer off the plate before Ari offered it to Aspel and chewed it thoughtfully. The announcement earlier that evening had been a shock - he'd thought Vivi was too old to have this done, not that Orsinio wasn't a lucky guy - but Vivi's response had been even more so. To have an engagement sprung on you without your knowledge was just not cool, as far as Drake was concerned.
"Here's hoping she can get out of it" was all Drake had to say about it, really. Vivi was clever and only an idiot would underestimate her.
Drake shook his head at the mention of the rumor mill. "Haven't really hear anything about the three of us in a while," he said, grinning. "Maybe they've gotten bored." He could only hope.
