Chapter 94

I stare at Jackson like he’s an idiot now. Because…honestly I really kind of did think that he’d figured it out, at a least a little bit. Or that once I told him, all the pieces would snap into place.

But he just stares back at me, slack–jawed, not saying a word.

And then, after a long, long moment of staring at each other, Jackson just….turns on his heel.

And stalks away.
