Jocelyn hadn’t expected that the issue would weigh so heavily on her mind. The more she worried, the more it showed how much she cared.

Melvin fell silent for a moment. “How do I do that?”

Jocelyn was at a loss for words.

“I’ve got it.” Melvin suddenly said, as if a light bulb had gone off in his head.

Jocelyn rolled her eyes. Harrison chuckled and stood up. “I’ll help out.”
