Joe scoffed, unable to contain his irritation, directing it at Leo. “What’s the deal with. you and that kid? You were even photographed together. Don’t fall for him, Jessica. I mean it, don’t you dare fall in love. We don’t need more drama to dig through.”

Joe never really planned to question her, but given the turn of events, he could only ask

Madison nearly hid her face in her hands. “Joe, the idea of romance is foreign to me.”
