Anzu leaned back on her bed, phone held close to her ear as she chatted with her friends. They'd started with light topics, mostly about school and weekend plans, but the conversation had quickly turned to girl talk. Then Yui suddenly blurted out, "Hey, Anzu, is Ryo there?"
Anzu squinted her eyes, instantly suspicious. She knew her friend was serious about this crush on Ryo. "Yui," she sighed, "he's... somewhere around, I guess. Why?"
Yui chuckled, not hiding her excitement. "You know, Anzu, I mean it. I'd totally date him! I think Ryo-san deserves someone who really values him. Beside he is close to our age than your mother's"
Anzu's mouth twisted in a half-smile, half-grimace. "Yeah, except he's practically my stepfather now. Isn't that a little… weird?"
