Mallory smiled fondly, but didn't exactly answer Benson's question. "He's the cutest," she said, hoping that he wouldn't realize how she'd skirted around her answer. She would have loved to say yes, but that would involve making up excuses for Brian two days in a row. "I can't believe how big he is now!"
She took a drink of her own water. "It's such a nice day today," she said, glancing around. "And it's not too hot out, either. Just right."
r u done yet? i wanna c u
Mallory sighed and replied back as quickly as she could. He was obviously in his possessive phase today.
Soon. I want to see you too!
"I'm sorry about that," she confessed to Benson, holding up her phone. "I hate texting when I'm hanging out with other people."
