was hard for Denver to keep up with the relationship. For some reason, the girl was devoted to Anj. A pity for Denver, she could have been a lot of fun for him to play with until Cheyenne had come into his life.
    He set Cheyenne's tray down onto the tabletop. The whole group was already sitting there. Anj was in his usual seat and he jumped, startled. The guy was blind, so it never took much for Denver to scare the guy. As much as Anj liked to pretend he couldn't be snuck up on and that he knew everything, he was pretty easy to mess with. It was a highlight for Denver.
    Zes was sitting next to his brother, and he glared across the table at Denver. He opened his mouth, but Denver spoke first.
    â€œI'm just helping her with her stuff. Don't worry, I'm not going to crash your cool kid party,” he said.
    Zes rolled his dark eyes, and played with his hair for a moment. His fingers picked at the small satyr horns buried in his brown hair. “You can stay if you want to.”
    â€œAre you sure?” Anj asked.
    â€œYes,” Zes mumbled. Then he went back to doing what he did best — eat. Denver liked Zes best when he spent time shoveling food into his mouth instead of talking. Zes also had more bite to him than people assumed. That made him more fun to break. Sometimes Denver liked to push his buttons just to encourage Zes to have more of a backbone and stop letting people walk all over him so much, more particularly his brother. For some reason Anj liked to control his twin. It couldn't have been healthy.
    Anj's eyes glowed blue and his gaze locked onto Denver for a moment. Denver recognized the spell being used. Anj was using magic to actually see him.
    Folding his arms across his chest, Denver narrowed his eyes and made eye contact with Anj. “Yes?”
    â€œI just want to make sure you're sure Zes, because just say the word and—”
    â€œI said I was fine,” Zes snapped. He muttered something else under his breath and stuffed a roll into his mouth.
    Slowly, Cheyenne sat down and Denver did the same. He contemplated leaving, if only for her comfort more than anything else, but they would all have to deal with the awkwardness at some point or another. It made sense to get it out of the way. Delaying the inevitable would only hurt Cheyenne more. She was the only person he cared about being good to.
    Anj's magic turned off and he went back to eating. “You know Zes, I find it insulting that you'll take a ballroom dancing class in college, but you won't let me teach you. Don't you want to impress all of the ladies there?”
    â€œYou're a crappy teacher,” Zes said. He glanced at Cheyenne. “We've had this conversation how many times? Every lesson you've attempted to give me ends badly.”
    His brother sighed dramatically. “I'll try not to take it personally.”
    â€œI just want to learn so I can possibly keep up.”
    The two kept talking, but Denver tuned them out. When he sat with the twins in the past, all he liked to do was watch or play the part of the Devil's advocate. He couldn't do the latter, so he was left with watching and waiting for someone else to join the table.
    Jewl sat down next, taking the chair on the other side of her boyfriend. Along with her was a new addition to the group, a redhead who answered to the name of Noel. She sat next to Jewl, which also put her next to Cheyenne. Halyn made a show of avoiding Denver and choosing to sit by Zes instead of him. Good, ol' Teague, didn't care much about who he sat by, and gave Denver's shoulder a squeeze in hello. He was probably the only other person there besides Cheyenne who wanted Denver around. Maybe Jewl didn't mind his presence so much, but she would ultimately side with the twins no matter what.
    â€œYou're going to come with us, right Noel?” Anj asked.
    Denver snapped out of his daze then because Cheyenne grabbed his hand and gave it the squeeze of death. He scowled and glanced at
