“You don’t need to make out with every guy who shows you a bit of attention.”

“There’s my champ!” Savannah cried, her face bursting into sunshine as soon as Jacob walked into the room. “That’s much better, isn’t it, honey?”
“Yeah.” Jacob nodded.
Izzy was reminded of what she needed to run by her. “Would it be alright for Jacob to stay up as late as he wants to tonight? He’s been really good, and he went to bed early yesterday. He deserves it.”
“Yes, of course.” Savannah hugged Jacob tightly. “You can stay up as late as you want.”
“All night?” he asked.
“All night.”
