Ben - Stalk Him, +cool: 7. He sees what you’re doing but can’t get away.

His head snaps to look at you, his eyes going wide. Just at that moment, he’s roped into the conversation. He seems fully distracted from your efforts and you give up a little. You contribute occasionally to the conversation and occasionally you catch Ben looking at you with a new gleam in his eyes.

As the Taylors get up to leave, you have one last chance to get Ben alone, risky though it would be to try anything now.
