You’re absolutely right, Jessica,” lan said, instantly perking up and dropping his earlier gloom. “Jeffrey’s great, but when he’s a jerk, he’s really a jerk.”

Jessica nodded. “Exactly!”

lan grinned. “From now on, we’re the biggest obstacles in Jeffrey’s way when it comes to Becky.”

“Obstacles?” Jessica rolled her eyes. “You want me to get dumped by Jeffrey? No wonder you’re still single. You can’t even talk right, you never stand up for me, and you’re too chicken to go after the person you like.”

Jessica gave him a good talking–to, not letting up for a second.

lan obediently listened, not daring to interrupt.

He didn’t dare say a word back.

‘Jessica’s a total boss,‘ Ian thought. ‘If she’s not chewing me out, she’s probably getting ready to do it.’

“What’s with that look? Don’t tell me I’m wrong,” Jessica growled, gritting her teeth.

“Of course you’re never wrong! Every word out of your mouth is pure truth,” Ian replied quickly, playing along. “Honestly, I should write all your wisdom down and recite it every night.”

Jessica narrowed her eyes at him. “Oh really? Then tell me—what did I just say?”

Ian froze, totally caught off guard.

‘Should I just admit I totally zoned out?‘ he wondered helplessly.

Jessica stared him down. “Didn’t you just say it was worth memorizing?”

“You talk so fast, I couldn’t even keep up,” Ian said, clearly not wanting to mess with Jessica. “Can you say it one more time? I swear I’ll actually remember it this time.”

Jessica shot him a look and went off to find Rebecca.

Jan hurried after her, practically tripping over his own feet to keep up.

When they arrived, Rebecca and Jeffrey were taking a “family of three” photo with Samuel. The photographer had his camera set, and right as he pressed the shutter, out of nowhere–bam!-their trio shot turned into a group of four.

The photographer was baffled.

He stared at the screen. “Hold up, where’d that extra person come from?”

That’s when Jeffrey finally realized Ryan had somehow slipped in and was standing right behind Samuel,

Ryan met Jeffrey’s eyes, looking totally chill as if he belonged there all along.
