Chapter 13

“Jesse doesn’t need a shrink,” she said. “He needs you to trust him a little more.”

“He needs me to trust him? What about all the times he didn’t trust me?” Dominique ticked off her fingers as she spoke. “There was the prom. And then the time I wanted to go out with Devon Walker, who was only the best looking guy in the school, and Jesse basically locked me in my room. And the less said about graduation night, the better.”

“You were in high school then. What has he done since you moved out? Seriously.”

Dominique pursed her lips. “He called me every night for like a year. Like he was checking up on me to make sure I didn’t have boys in my room.”

“Or maybe like he actually missed you?” Emma sighed. “I know Jesse’s overprotective. Trust me. I know that very well. But that’s because he’s so afraid of losing people. You two always had a special bond, and then you moved out. You don’t think he felt that loss?”
