Shelly leaned forward, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "So, how old is he?" she asked, her tone eager. "And what do you think of him beyond the jokes? Are we talking potential boyfriend material here?"

I shrugged, feeling a mix of excitement and uncertainty. "I think he's around thirty. He seems really mature, and he's just... fun to be around. It's nice to have someone who can make me laugh."

Conor let out a laugh, shaking his head. "Thirty? That's practically ancient!"

James shot him a quick glare. "Shush, Conor! Let her finish the description!"

I smiled, appreciating James's attempt to keep the conversation on track. "I don't know yet if he's boyfriend material, but I really enjoy spending time with him."

"Will we all get to meet him someday?" James asked, eager for more. "I want to see if he lives up to the hype!"

"I hope so! I think you guys would get along great," I said, a spark of excitement in my voice.

Shelly nodded enthusiastically. "We have to make it happen! I want to see if he's as charming in person as you say."

"Yeah," James added with a grin. "Let's plan a group outing soon. It'll be fun to welcome him into the fold!"

I felt a warmth spreading in my chest at the thought of integrating Ethan into my circle of friends. "Definitely! I'll keep you guys posted," I promised, feeling hopeful about the potential for new memories with both Ethan and my friends.
