   Summary

   “It’s okay,” you reply. Your voice is level. “He’s just feeling me out.” Your head knocks to the side and it is light, acceptably teasing. “This your version of hazing?”

   “Haven’t got there yet,” he tells you pointedly, ego sore, and drags his palms down his jeans. “Still in my questioning phase.”

   “Okay. What’s next?”

   He looks at you and it is testing humor and clear blue sky for miles. “Twelve men and one woman. Take your best guess.”
