"Bah!" Said Alexei loudly, waving off Audrey's concerns. "They don't miss me. There's no need for friends when you have love" He finished with a wink over to Tacey, and deciding not to break into a verse of "All you need is love" for the third time that day. Listening to Tacey's view on Amaury was, for a moment, disheartening. But, only for a moment, until it came to him; "Oi! You're single now, love, why don't you go with him and I'll take Audrey? It'll work out grand that way!" He went on happily, not noticing or caring any displeasure either girl might have on the idea.
He was about to announce that it was settled and go on about some other aspect of his and Audrey's future together when the table was suddenly overshadowed and he noticed someone talking. It wasn't until he was forced to move over that he realized the whoever-was-talking had been addressing him, and had now come between him and his love.
"HEY!" He yelled, "I'm sitting here! Shove off, you big oaf!" He finished, still not knowing exactly who he was talking to, but giving him a little shove anyway. Little Alexei must've looked a complete joke, yelling and shoving a boy almost twice his size, but the love-stricken youth barely even noticed.
