The surprise in his reply really threw me off, and I was honestly shocked.

Jefferson always treated me like a little sister, cracking jokes here and there, but never crossing the line.

Grant looked at me, eyes wide with surprise, as if he was trying to read the situation.

Jefferson walked up to me, ignoring Grant, and simply said, "Let's go inside."

I gave Grant a nod and followed Jefferson out. As we were leaving, I caught Grant opening his mouth and reaching out, like he wanted to say something or perhaps keep me from leaving.

"Jefferson said that to scare off my admirers, didn't he?" I guessed his intention after a brief moment of thought.

"Yeah, that guy looked all over the place, not a good fit," Jefferson's assessment of Grant made me burst into laughter.

He glanced at me with a side-eye, "I have a good eye for people, trust me, keep your distance from him."

"Sure," I said, laughing along.
