At the restaurant, even Chunky could tell Anya was about to head home.

They chatted for a bit.

Chunky asked Leo, "So, you've only been looking for people from your own school? I thought you'd be scouting talent on the black market or something."

Leo shook his head. "Those guys are too unpredictable. Who knows what kind of jobs they've taken before? Honestly, there are some great up-and-comers among the students."

Chunky smirked. "Aren't you a student, too?"

Leo grinned and slung his arm around Anya's shoulders. "Not anymore. I'm practically a family man now-gotta provide for my girl."

Anya looked up at him, beaming, her eyes full of happiness.

Chunky watched the two of them and couldn't help but roll her eyes at the sweetness overload.

Leo nudged Chunky and joked, "What, jealous? Lose a little weight and you'll have someone special, too."

Chunky shot back, "You know, there's still time for me to reconsider this friendship."
