Kurt's smug expression was the last straw. Shanley's face was a thundercloud.
"You can go entertain the other guests now, Shanley," Kurt said, oblivious to the impending storm. "I've got things covered here."
He'd seen his friends woo women before; he knew a few tricks.
"You are not needed here," Shanley said, his voice dropping to a dangerously low temperature as he glared at Kurt. "Go outside and greet the guests."
"What? Shanley, why are you kicking me out?"
Kurt's confidence evaporated. Just half an hour ago, Shanley had been ordering him to chat up the doctor. Had he messed up somehow?
"Shanley," Kurt whined, his voice turning pleading, "it's not my fault. She won't talk to me! Look at her face... she's terrifying."
Shanley glanced at Juniper, who promptly shot him a glare of her own. He had to admit, she was fierce. But she was also incredibly cute.
"See? She's even glaring at you!" Kurt exclaimed. "I'm telling you, Grandma is throwing me to the wolves!"
"Enough," Shanley snapped, tired of the complaints. "Go welcome the guests, and you'll still get what I promised you."
"Really?" Kurt's eyes lit up.
