Gerry let out a chuckle. “You know I didn't mean that.”

Even though she had been making fun of Caden moments ago, the idea of ​​Alicia and Caden having some sort of romantic relationship seemed absurd to her. The idea of ​​two people who seemed to butt heads at every turn, but shared a kind of forbidden tension, was oddly amusing. Who wouldn't find that scenario entertaining?

Alice agreed without hesitation. “Sounds good to me.”

With that settled, Alice turned her attention to Caden. “How much do I owe you for the jacket?”
