Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

"Since you've already talked to Silas, I'm sure you know that Pete's case is rather complicated. It's not something you would be able to solve by acting affectionately in front of Harry!"

I understood what Nicholas was trying to say. But what else could I possibly do to help Pete? So, I put on an innocent expression and looked at him.

Nicholas' infuriated expression was slightly funny. I jumped down from the sink and walked up toward him.

"I'll go talk to Harry. Since you won't be of much help, I'll just have to think of another way."
