Her eyes remained on this contractor even though she wanted to engage in a good old fashion dispute with Chris. She wasn’t very good at whispering so she did not attempt to whisper back. “So pleased you could join us, Chris. This is Andi, and he’s here to talk to Brie about her dance studio.” She turned to Chris for the briefest of seconds to give him a smile that simply meant<em>dude, calm down</em>.  It was amazing how much could be spoken non-verbally between siblings.<br/><br/>She knew the thoughts that were quite possibly going through his mind at the moment. How could you invite this man inside of our house? Truthfully, she forgot about the magical part of their lives for a moment due to the unsuitable elements outside. Even though she did not want to admit it, her brother was correct since it wasn’t exactly safe to allow a mortal in the house. Her smile faltered as she waited for the final judgment from Wyatt. When her brother moved aside, she made room for Andi to come into the house, but found that Chris’ cautiousness for anything alive or dead rubbed off on her. Melinda didn’t miss the look Wyatt gave her other brother yet chose not to address it.<br/><br/>Pleasantness returned as she reached out to shake his hand before gesturing to the coat hangers.  “It’s really no trouble at all.” That was an obvious lie to due to her brother’s lack of enthusiasm for visitors. “You can leave your coat on one of the coat hangers.” She waited for him to rid himself of that light coat before walking into the other room. Her hand gestured for him to take a seat before she sat in an opposite chair. While waiting for Brie, she couldn’t help but ask a question since his Andi’s mannerism seemed a bit unfamiliar. “Did you grow up in this area?”<br/>
