Avantika couldn't help but smile giddily as well at Audra's response. Her happiness made her happy. It was sure now, a fact that could be filed into the folder of "reasonably true", where tested theories went: Audra liked her. Not just as a friend either, a girlfriend.

Avantika glanced at Audra, leaving her own introduction to her, but she did add to Art's, saying, "He's one of my brothers, too."
