Charm II
Thandi kisses his cheeks and his nose for good measure. The boy blushes under the attention, a pout pasted on his face, and Thandi giggles.
“All right, Charlie, I promise I’ll be back, okay? You promised me you would do this while I helped the astronomy club.”
“Yes, but Dean is there, and what if–“
Thandi raises a brow and Charlie sighs. “Okay. Horticulture club. Help them. Got it.”
“It’ll bring up your grades, too, darling.”
Charlie grumbles and rubs his neck before glancing at her. “Okay. Charm time.”
She nods and leans toward him, letting him plant a kiss on her forehead as he always does. She gives him a pat on the cheek and he watches her go, clutching at his chest.
