"Friend, huh?" Hora asked me in a teasing way. "Then why are you grinning and giggling like some hopeless romantic?"

"Why are you asking something so obvious? And besides, does it matter?"
She wiggled her eyebrows, still not done with her teasing.
"Of course it matters. So? It's a boy? How old is he? Is he kind? Do you like him? Are you two together already?"
