“Holy shit,” Viona whispered, snapping pictures furiously. “He’s actually hugging him!”

I could barely believe what I was seeing. Jake sat down across from Drake, leaning in close as they began to talk. At one point, Jake reached out and touched Drake’s hand, his fingers lingering there for a moment too long to be purely friendly.

“This is insane,” I muttered, shaking my head in disbelief.

Suddenly, Jake’s head started to turn in our direction. I grabbed Viona’s arm, yanking her down behind the plant.

“Shit!” Viona hissed. “Do you think he saw us?”

We held our breath, hardly daring to move. After a few tense seconds, I risked a peek around the plant. Jake was back to focusing on Drake, seemingly oblivious to our presence.

“I think we’re okay,” I whispered, letting out a sigh of relief.
