Chapter 23

“How did he react to you kissing him?” Jamie asks, and she’s too smart for her own good. “Did he like it?”

“He didn’t pull away. But he didn’t pull away from Penny, either, so really, that doesn’t tell me much. I probably won’t care once I’m sober, but I’m very much drunk and kind of high. It’s throwing me off, and I’m probably making a big deal out of nothing.” Jed rubs a hand over his face. He’s far from sober, even though he’s not stupidly out of it.

“Maybe I should talk to him,” Jamie says thoughtfully.

“No! No, you don’t need to do that,” Jed says, almost panicked. It would be so embarrassing to have Jamie talk to a man on his behalf.

“I’d be nice,” Jamie replies.
