Monday night

The lesson with Edmund passed with no more personal discussion, but it was a good one. Actually, it was a grueling one, but in a good way.

Alec has to hop in the shower when Edmund leaves, and he almost misses Ginny's phone call as a result.

"Sure, babe. Come over. I have extra hugs just for you."

He's waiting on the porch when she drives up and walks to her car to meet her.

"Hey."

He kicks off his shoes.

"Alyce has purple. With sparkles."

Ginny looks at him, eyes shining.

"Really?"

[alec_leads]

"Really."

Alec isn't jealous. He's really not. But if his girlfriend's going to paint another guy's toenails, he's going to get some color on, too.

"I draw the line at fingernails. Well, maybe black would work on the fingernails."

"You," Ginny says, leaning in close, "are the best boyfriend ever."

[alec_leads]

"Aren't I, though?"

He pulls her into a kiss. When it breaks, he snickers.

"I also have a girl twin. We went through a beauty shop phase when we were six."

[ginginevra]

"More kissing, less talking about your beauty shop phase."

Maybe painting his toenails can wait just a little while.

He laughs and kisses her again. And again.

Yeah, painting his toenails will have to wait.
