Chapter 93

My eyebrows shoot up "Marry?"

Her smile widened innocently. "You two are done, aren't you? Just saying. Asking for your permission."

My eyebrows shot up. "Permission? We just broke up, Jessica. Are you already planning a wedding?"

She laughed lightly, waving her hand as if brushing off my reaction. "Oh, don't be so dramatic. It's just an idea. I know it doesn't make me a good friend but Gabriel deserves someone who understands him, someone who can support him."

I leaned back in my chair, eyeing her carefully. "And you think that someone is you?"

Jessica tilted her head, her smile turning sweeter—and somehow sharper. "Why not? We've always gotten along so well. And you know, Gabriel deserves a partner who knows how to stay loyal. Someone who doesn't create… drama."

I chuckled softly, setting my coffee down. "That's rich, coming from you."
