me
, keep it out loud.”

intense emotions right now.”

“The shoe would be funnier,” Fitz jumped in”

“No I don’t—and get back here, Lex!” Dex grabbed one of the boys by his furry collar and jerked him back to his side.

“Yes he does,” the other boy—who had to be Rex—corrected, flashing a huge grin with a big black space where one of his front teeth was missing. “He liiiiiiiiiiiiikes you.”

“Hey, a guy’s gotta look his best for the ladies.” Keefe patted the back of his head. “Right, Foster?”

“Hey—why do you get her?” Fitz asked,”
