"Hi, Wade," Ren greeted affably. "Are you here to visit Fang?"
"No," the boy replied bluntly. "I came to visit you."
"Lucky me," Ren joked.
"You didn't even meet me the last time I was here," Wade accused.
"Sorry," Ren said perfunctorily.
Wade's chocolate brown eyes filled with tears. "Big Brother," he cried tearfully. "You don't like me anymore?"
Ren frowned. "Why do you think so, Wade?"
"Why are you avoiding me, then?" the teenager sobbed pitifully.
