Chapter 9

About a month into the term, Keenan introduced Tucker to Jane Williams. Jane was also a pre-vet student. She and Keenan had several classes together, and they were partners in many of their animal anatomy labs. Jane and Keenan got along well, and he began meeting her for study sessions. One evening he invited her to study at the apartment he shared with Tucker. Tucker returned to the apartment during one of their study sessions.

From the moment they laid eyes on each other, it was apparent there were sparks between Jane and Tucker. Keenan did his best to ignore this despite his concern, telling himself that, as with Molly their freshman year, Tuck’s interest in Jane would pass.

However, Tucker’s interest in Jane didn’t pass, it grew, and it became evident that whatever was going on, it was far deeper than with Molly. Keenan felt increasingly uncomfortable.
