CHAPTER 31
~Xena's POV~
Crystal giggled. "He likes her, Mum. I bet Uncle Xade is shy."
"I am not shy," I said flatly.
They both burst out laughing like I had told a joke. I glared mildly, then exhaled while shaking my head. "Unbelievable. Both of you."
My sister crossed her hands, looking smug. "So, what's her name?"
"No."
"Oh, come on."
"No," I asserted, half bellowing.
Unfazed, she tapped her chin. "Fine. I'll just Google it. The internet already loves you two, apparently."
I stiffened. "Don't."
Diamond smirked. "So you do care."
I ignored that and her, and the heat creeping up my neck.
"Goodnight," I muttered, turning toward the stairs.
"You can run, brother," she called behind me, "but you can't hide from feelings!"
My niece added at full volume. "HE HAS FEELINGS!"
My sister added, "Run all you like, you emotionally suppressed cucumber!"
