Chapter 78

Todrick was now setting food on the table for the rest of the pack, he and Kevin finally having finished making lunch. Jake and Alex were already at the table, Jake telling Alex a story of some kind that had Alex laughing hard enough to cry. Todrick walked around them to set something else on the table, and ruffled up Alex's hair as he walked by to go back to the kitchen. Alex quickly turned and leaned out of his chair a little to grab Todrick's wrist. Todrick flipped back around. "Yes, Allie?"

"Hi!" "Hi, honey." Alex giggled and turned back to Jake. "You should tell Toddy the story too!"

Jake nodded, leaning forward to begin the story again. Todrick smiled at them, only partially listening, because all he could think about was how cute Alex was, by trying to involve him in whatever Alex and Jake were doing.
