#Chapter108
/"Your boy … Christian. He seems like a good guy./" Jake interjects, his eyes trained on his brother’s profile and adopting that infuriating Carrero unreadable mask. A brotherly trait, obviously. Jake kind of looks a little smug and I wonder what his game is, but at least he distracts me and draws my attention to him and gives my head some much-needed focus.
/"He is … a really lovely guy, who does his best to take care of Jenny and I./" I smile with real affection in my tone, a topic that instantly relaxes me, and glad of not only a change but a reason to move back and look at Jake instead. To give myself room to breathe. Noticing his tie is crooked I gesture him over and click my fingers for him to scoot down to my height too. Jake dutifully obeys, and I straighten his tie before patting him on the cheek with a cheeky wink, and a mock air kiss. He just eye rolls at me.
