He probably shouldn’t foster her dislike for Kim, though to be fair, Kim was as completely self-absorbed now as she had been back when they had dated. But Jackson struggled with calling Megan on any of her behavior. Telling her to be respectful to Kim would take away one of the two flimsy things they had in common. He wasn’t ready yet.

Jackson: Sounds good. Anything special you want to do while you’re here?

Megan: ignore each other per the usual?

Jackson:I might be too busy ignoring other people to ignore you too.

Megan: hahaha just stock up on frozen pizzas & im good

Jackson: Can I bribe you with sushi?

Megan:maybe. what are you bribing me to do in exchange for sushi

Jackson: One activity outside the house. Your choice.

Megan:i’ll think about it. CU Fri

Jackson stripped off his shirt, leaving only his board shorts on. It was still too cold in March to swim without a wetsuit, but the shower under the house had hot water. He stepped inside the wooden shower enclosure, relishing in the feel of the hot water on his skin in the cool air.

Megan’s texts seemed slightly warmer, even if she still played it cool in person. She was joking with him, which was a good start. Maybe if he could thaw Megan out, there was hope for Jenna after all.
