Chapter 18

Jenny POV:

I settled into the worn couch, feeling the familiar comfort of our small apartment envelop me. Tasha joined me, her eyes sparkling with curiosity as I began to recount my encounter with Alex.

"So, what was he like?" Tasha asked, her voice tinged with excitement.

"He's intense, but there's something about him that draws you in," I replied. "We played a game, watched a movie... it was surreal."

Tasha's eyes widened. "I can't believe you actually met him! What was it like, being that close to him?"

"It was exhilarating, but also unnerving," I said. "He's unpredictable, and I found myself caught off guard by his mood swings."

Tasha nodded enthusiastically. "I'm so jealous! Did you tell him about me?"

Tasha's expression turned hopeful. "Next time you see him, tell him about me, okay?"

I nodded, feeling a sense of trepidation. "Okay, I'll try.
