Okay, so it hadn't been the best week ever. Actually, it had kind of been a pretty crappy week. Wait. Make that a crappy month. First there was that awful fight with Alfie, then the Jacen fiasco (which, according to Annie, was apparently even worse now, although Lexie still hadn't managed to get out of her exactly how yet) and now... now the David crisis. Which really shouldn't have been a crisis in the first place, all things considered. But... Lexie sighed and bit the inside of her cheek, using the sharp stab of pain that resulted as a way to call her back to reality. She had no business thinking such thoughts. There was absolutely no use in wallowing. Besides, there was fabulous silver lining: she got to have ice cream with her little brother. As bad as their fight had been, and as awful as it made her feel, Lexie was glad that they could finally reconcile, and she preferred to mark the end of their argument with a celebratory ice cream treat than to just resume business as usual. Besides, even if she couldn't trust him with Jacen's secret, there was another one that she was pretty sure he'd want to hear about ahead of time.
Lexie spooned several generous helpings of chocolate ice cream into Alfie's bowl and chose butter pecan for herself. After adding a few fixings and grabbing some spoons, she headed up to Alfie's room and, lacking a hand to knock, tapped the bottom of his door with her foot. "Hey little brother? I have a surprise for you."
