"Yeah, I guess you're right," Alicia agreed, mirroring Mandy's shrug. She remembered that Christopher had said he might stop by to see her at work sometime. She could always go visit him as well, so... who knew? "What about you?" she continued in a teasing tone, turning the tables. "You were gone for two months or so. Plenty of time to get to know someone better. Anyone you fancy?"
Letting out a little laugh, she echoed, "Yes, a few. Fred's got six siblings, all with the trademark bright red Weasley hair."
"And you won't be gone as long?" Alicia had missed Mandy when she'd been gone on this last trip -- she was like a little sister to her.
