Zoe had been having a weird day with Rachel and Danny and Dylan, kind of a suddenly-in-the-deep-end day. She had made the first comment, suggesting that Danny could go for a run, but only because Danny had already said that he wouldn't! Then all of a sudden, everyone had taken her seriously, and Rachel had pulled Dylan into it too, and there was four of them!
It hadn't been too bad. She liked Dylan, he was little, clever and had been through crap. They didn't talk much, but they were part of the same thing.
And Zoe felt very protective over Danny and Rachel. She hadn't meant to do that. It was an accident. But she felt somewhere in her guilty gut that something bad was going to happen if she turned her back on them.
And running around being ridiculous in the park had been fun. Actually fun. Fun enough that she hadn't invited them back to her house to keep an eye on them. Besides, the moment she mentioned Liz's name Rachel had lit up, and Zoe couldn't shoot the look on her face down.
"Isn't it?" Rachel grinned at Danny, grabbing his arm in excitement. "You should see inside, it just goes on forever."
