Chapter 182: Celebration!, Part 1

The afternoon was spent talking, mostly Abby, Ellie, and Gina interrogating Whitney, Wyatt, Jax, Trent, and Isach. Nick and Luke were quiet, and I worried they weren't having fun. Or maybe they just felt out of place. I knew what that was like, and I tried to include them.

At one point, Ellie sat on Nick's lap, and his entire demeanor changed. The two of them were perfect together, and I hoped things lasted between them.

Abby and Gina hung on Jax and Wyatt's every word. Jax didn't seem to care, but Wyatt was reveling in the attention. It was the first time I'd ever seen him smile so much, or talk for that matter. He was normally so quiet.
