   Summary

   “You guys are so blind, it’s ridiculous,” Ragnor scoffed. "How long are you going to keep up the charade?"

   “Seriously, are we on this again??!” Magnus asked, irritated.

   “It’s clear you two are perfect for each other,” Ragnor stated emphatically.

   “What? Me and Alexander?” Magnus said incredulously. “But we are best friends! We've come a long way since college. I’m his wingman. In fact see that guy in there? I set them up together. Also, in case you haven't noticed, I’m also involved with someone,” he said firmly.

   Ragnor snorted. “That doesn't count. You two are hopeless,” he groaned.
