"Let's go home," he said.

Lilliana wondered aloud, “Joshua, do you think Gerry’s sudden kindness to Alicia means he’s already chosen her?”

Joshua felt himself sinking inside.

He shook his head. “If Gerry had planned to choose her, there would be no need for this contest. “He would have already made up his mind.”
