It's serious for him. This is the longest I've seen him keep a straight face in ages.

"Then we're going to the beach after," he says. "She misses the Pacific."

"I forgot how much I like her," Luna says.

"Are you going to help or not?" he asks.

"Have I ever been a bad hostess?" she asks.

"It's not your party," he says.

"Have I ever neglected to make an Inked Love party amazing?"

"Yeah, Tricky's parties suck," he says. "And I want this to be special."

"You like her," she says.

"Yeah. She's my friend," he says. "What is complicated about this?"

"Sure. I'll help yourfriendhave a great time." She turns to me. "What about you, Tricky? Are you bringing Imogen?"

"Is she invited?" I ask.

"Of course," he says. "We need to balance out your dumbness with another smart chick."

Again, Luna shoots him a glare.

Again, he chucklestoo easy.

"Sure. Of course," I say. "I'll ask her Saturday."

"Ask her now," Dare says.

Luna laughs. "Aww, impatient. So much love."

Patrick: Hey. What are you doing the weekend after next?

Imogen: You, I hope.

Patrick: Cheesy.

Imogen: I know.

Patrick: I like it.

Imogen: Good.

Patrick: After that?

Imogen: You again?

Patrick: Dare is having a party for his BFF. She's home from Spain (study abroad) and she wants to hang with some cool Americans.

Imogen: Where will you find those?

Patrick: I know, it's tough, but we have you and Luna. We're making progress.

When she doesn't reply immediately, I sweeten the deal.
