Lavender never minded people coming to her to talk; she'd been told she was a good listener and she liked to think she gave good advice. It seemed like she'd been doing that a lot lately, first Zach and now Colin, and even a little with Dennis, too. She wasn't complaining at all though.
Leading him into the kitchen, Lavender listened carefully as Colin talked. Moving slowly, she pulled down two mugs and then turned to lean against the counter, waiting for the tea to be ready. "I haven't, no, but I know people who have, and I can understand what it might feel like." Shay, for example. He'd been in love with her and Dean at once, and the more Colin was talking, the more familiar it sounded.
Lavender took a moment to listen to everything, and then began, "Let's start with this. First of all, why do you think you have to choose? Is it because of Justin not wanting to share?" Did she mention this sounded familiar to her? Because yeah, it did.
