"I didn't mean it that way, Lils. I mean, we're friends," James suddenly smiled, they were friends weren't they? It was the first time he could say that and know that his friendship was returned. "It's kind of nice to know that you're not going to hex my parts, or toss the necklace I gave you to the Giant Squid. It's a nice...start?" James' eyes glittered and then he put his hand down on her shoulder, and let one finger run across the stones of the necklace. "You don't think I'm giving up, do you? This is just a little break in your regularly scheduled programing."
