She laughed musically.

“What's your favorite color?"

“Blue. Navy blue.”

“As evidenced by the abundant number of navy blue shirts in your closet. Well, that and dark gray. And black. Come to think of it, you're always in dark-colored shirts. We need to brighten your wardrobe a bit."

I chuckled.

“Fair enough. Favorite food?"

“Coddle with Mam's soda bread."

“I have absolutely no idea what that is."

Naimh Laughed.

“You'll have to come visit ‘round suppertime and try it.

“Well not Sam's dad. Pretty sure he still thinks I'm gay. And Alice's mom, too.”

Naimh shook her head.

“Alice's mam knows. She noticed the way Alice was changing her wardrobe and asked. Alice told her you two started messing around with each other, but that there's nothing romantic about it.

Just friends with benefits. She's not happy ‘bout it, but she's not giving Alice as hard a time as we thought she would."

I blinked. That was news to me. But then I thought about what Naimh said about ALL the BTC's parents knowing I was banging their daughters:
