Divergence (4)

Alexander and the others wondered what they should do to solve that situation, but nothing came to mind. He wondered if making Billy hook up with either Kate or Natalie would solve that since he showed some interest, but at least one of those two would feel hurt in the end…

"I thought that Billy would understand why I wanted to help…" Kate said and then sighed.

"He understands, and that is why he didn't leave the party immediately," Alexander said. "He said that he didn't have to be the leader forever and he didn't seem attached to that position."

"I don't think that Billy will hold a grudge over that… if we just apologize appropriately," Sarah said. "Our intentions were good, after all. The only issue is about the usual decision-making process that we ignored."

Alexander wondered if that would be enough, Billy can be quite stubborn when he wants, after all. Even more so now that he has the reason on his side.
