Jayvaughn quickly realized that the conversation about Axel's sister was heading into dangerous territory, so he scrambled for an escape. He leaned forward and said, "Babe, let me solve the problem online, okay? Wait for me here." He began to stand up, but Axel caught him off guard with a smile.
"Jay, sit," Axel said gently, though there was a clear firmness in his tone.
Jayvaughn froze mid-step, then reluctantly sank back down into his seat. He tried to keep his expression neutral, but the smile tugging at Axel's lips told him he had been caught.
"Why do I feel like you're purposely trying to change the topic and run away from me?" Axel teased, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Don't tell me you actually find my sister pretty."
