(All right, then, definitely time to exit stage left,) Ami thought as she watched several more looks pass between George and Carlos. She decided to forego politeness, as much as it was possible to do so.
"Well," Ami said with knowing smile, "I think that I'm wanted over at the cookfire. I'll catch up with you two later." The words she directed at them both, but she held Carlos's gaze a moment longer than George's hoping that he would understand. She did want to talk to him, and make certain that the air was cleared, but she realized that now wasn't the time.
"George, I'll think about what we talked about," Ami told her. She looked at Carlos hard. "And you ... you had best take good care of George, or I'll beat you with one of those sticks."
She winked at George with a grin and explained, "Standard female friendship warning for men. Had to be said."
With a friendly smile to the new couple, and a jaunty wave, Ami set off in the other direction.
