HOME - FINALLY JOSH

I walked back inside the house, shutting the door behind me as I let out a long breath. My hands were still curled into fists at my sides, my body tense from the confrontation with Vivien. My mind was racing, going over every word she'd said, the way she'd looked at me, the way she'd kissed me-like she still had some kind of hold over me. But she didn't. Not anymore.

I glanced up, and there was Jess, standing in the kitchen, arms crossed, eyebrows raised.

"Seriously?" she muttered, giving me that classic Jess look-the one that somehow managed to make me feel like a complete idiot.

I ran a hand down my face. "I don't want to hear it."

Jess scoffed. "Well, you're gonna. She gives me psycho vibes, Josh. Better hope she accepts all this, because Laura does not need your love-life drama right now." She leaned against the counter, shaking her head. "She needs calm, she needs peace, she needs love and support. Not your ex showing up making a scene on the doorstep."

I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. "I know that, Jess."

She rolled her eyes. "Then make sure she stays out of the picture. Laura's been through enough."

I nodded because she was right. Of course, she was right.

I nodded again, feeling the nerves kick in all over again. "Yeah."

She smirked, shaking her head as she grabbed her keys. "You
