It was a moot point, anyway, as she didn't think Zee swung that way, and she wasn't really hung up on the idea, anyway. Addi laughed at his own accent, though it didn't affect her quite the way she knew it affected her sister. Though perhaps it was because it was him, and she just couldn't see him as anything but a brother-type.
"Meathead," she repeated, snorting with laughter. "Have you looked in a mirror lately?" she teased. She couldn't say that it was impossible for Oliver to charm Gen while Coop was playing the long game, but she did have hope that the feelings her sister still had for Coop would win out.
"Oui! Absolutely!" she answered, thrilled that he'd wanted to text her over the last six months just like she'd wanted to reach out to him. If she hadn't known how heartbroken Gen had been over everything, she would have done it anyway, but she hadn't wanted to make things more difficult for her sister at the time. And now, she definitely wanted to do what she could to push them back together. "Oooh, yes, you should definitely do that! Just... don't come on too strong," she suggested. "You don't want to scare her away." Even if she did want to sigh at the thought of him sweeping Gen off for some intensely passionate reunion...
Cooper shot her a playful glare when she snorted with laughter, “Hey, I’m more than just a pretty face.” He teased, knowing that wasn’t at all what meathead meant. He was just making worse it on purpose. He chuckled when she seemed excited for him to text her, “Thank, Salazar. I’ve not saved them all but there were a few times.” He had been worried about her, worried about normal sibling things while they had been apart. He had worried about her dating life, her friends, her job, all of it. He had itched to know what was going on with his adopted family.
“I promise, I don’t intend to come on too strong.” He then started that move, the one where he could end their dancing just nearby Gen. As they came to a stop, he dipped Addi dramatically and then… Because it was Coop, he may have pretended to drop her but caught her a second later and laughed as he righted her. It wouldn’t have been the first time he’d done that.
His attention slid to Gen then, “I couldn’t talk you into one last dance before I leave, can I?”
Gen hadn't been able to look away from Coop and Addi dancing. It had that ache in her chest growing, and she cursed the fates for putting them all together like this again, even if she knew it had been by Coop's design. He'd chosen to come here to Provence because he'd known she was here. And it wasn't fair to do this to any of them, to reopen these wounds, to make her family think he could be a part of all their lives again. He was the past, and while she didn't know for sure what the far future had in store for her, the immediate future would have her in Australia with Oliver.
And no matter how rocky a start they'd had, she did like him quite a lot and wanted to see where things could go with him.
Coop was just someone she had an intense history with, but that didn't mean they had to relive it. No, it would be better all around if they didn't go there. But they could find a way to be friends, for their friend's sake. And he had always been so good with her family, what harm could come of him and Addi being friends as well? And... all right, she was deluding herself, but it was the only thing she felt she could do.
