The moment I get home, I dash straight to Jill's chamber, relieved to find Zamira there as well. However, her eyes are slightly swollen, as though she's been upset about something but I don't say anything.
What could be wrong?
"You're back, Jake," Jill greets me with a warm smile.
"You look cheerful today," Zamira observes, her smile forced. I decide to play along, ignoring the tension.
"GUESS WHAT?!" I exclaim.
"What?" they ask in unison.
"Come on, just guess!"
Jill sighs, rubbing her temple. "Let me guess—you found another woman?"
"Or maybe your dick got bigger?" Zamira adds, smirking.
"What the—no!" I shoot back, incredulous. "Why are your guesses so ridiculous?"
"Because those are the kinds of 'good news' you usually bring," they reply in perfect sync, leaving me both embarrassed and dumbfounded.
"Okay, fair… but no! This is different!"
