It was only a matter of time before Alec got bored. He was the youngest there in the Very Nice garden party. No one seemed to be paying any real attention to him. Sure he'd gotten the turn around and introduced to Important People by Andrew. (Benefactor... tragic accident with parents... father worked in one Andrew's companies... blah... blah blah). Then the older women coo'd over him and pinched his cheeks. He got a lot of, "You're such a lucky little boy."
But that was over now.
Everyone was ignoring him.
His shoes pinched.
And then he heard a couple of people talking about how people in France ate snails. Curious, he decided to hunt out some snails to see if it really was as tasty as they said.
Alec couldn't find any snails, but there were slugs.
Slugs. Snails. Same thing, right?
A few minutes later a waiter walked up to Andrew and cleared his throat briefly.
