Elysia blinked, thrown off by Phoebe’s words. What did she mean I haven’t met many guys? I’ve met plenty, haven’t I she thought to herself.

Phoebe’s smile stretched wider as she noticed Elysia’s puzzled expression. “Come on, Elysia. Admit it. Is Zane the best- looking guy you’ve ever seen?”

Elysia shot back quickly. “That’s not true. My brothers are pretty good–looking too.

“Who else besides your brothers?” Phoebe pressed, her eyes twinkling with curiosity.

Elysia paused, thinking it over. She realized that aside from her brothers, Zane was the best–looking guy she’d ever crossed paths with.

“Come on, Elysia,” Phoebe teased, her smile widening. “I know you too well. Looks are everything to you, but what if you meet someone even hotter than Zane down the line?”

Elysia just shook her head, not missing a beat. “Why stress about hypotheticals?” she replied. “Life’s too short for that. Gotta live in the moment.” She saw Phoebe about to argue and quickly cut her off with a raised hand. “Let’s just drop it, okay?”

With a big yawn, she stretched her arms. “Save the weird questions for another day. I’m beat. Night, Phoebe.”

Before Phoebe could respond, Elysia turned and walked away. Phoebe stood there, a sly grin spreading across her face as she watched Elysia disappear down the hall.

Phoebe saw through Elysia’s break as just an escape from the issue. Her confident facade couldn’t hide her inexperience in love.

Phoebe didn’t think Zane was bad, but she felt a pang of pity that Elysia didn’t have more romantic stories to share.
