“Emma doesn’t love him, you know,” he finally said. “He’s not your responsibility.”


“Emma still cares about him as a friend. But it doesn’t matter. I’ve been dumped before. I can afford to have a little empathy for him and make sure he doesn’t get himself really hurt.”


“Which you did. So stop beating yourself up about it.”


“I’m not beating myself up,” Jesse said irritably. “I don’t blame myself for everything that happens around here. I just wish I hadn’t shouted at Michelle.”


Gideon rolled onto his side, propping his head up in his hand. “You want me to drop this?” He didn’t seem upset, more sleepy and curious than anything else. “Or I could go out after Michelle and say something hugely inappropriate, like…she’s smells delicious today. That way, she’ll be annoyed with me and not you.”


Jesse couldn’t help but smile. “I would send you after her right now, except it’s still the middle of the day. But if she calls me, you can answer the phone.”
