Wes started out as the guy at the party clutching a can of soda and smiling sweetly, but looking kind of unsure of what to do at a party in general. If they escaped to talk about or look at books in another room for a sec, he'd be most grateful. He's getting better with exposure. He also "writes" but doesn't really consider himself a full-fledged writer, so he'd be interested in hearing her thoughts about her own writing.
