Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

"Josie, I swear, Oliver's dad-my own flesh and blood-is such a headache. From now on, he's history as far as Oliver's concerned, and you won't have to deal with him either. Trust me, I won't let this hot mess affect you or Oliver. You won't have to worry about a thing."

"What's it to you? Is Josie your girl now? Do I need your permission to see her?"

Brandon shot Oliver a look that silently teased, "Can't believe you still haven't won Josie over. You're useless."
