Page 120 of How You See Me
Me:I did, and it wasn’t even scary.
Jordan:Wow. Just WOW.
Me:Why didn’t you answer my call?
Jordan:On the bus. Too loud. Was texting you when your pic came in. Glad you’re having fun.
Me:I am. Hayes thinks you won’t recognize me. I’m a new woman!
Jordan:Please tell me that’s a reference to you getting over your fears.
Jordan:Never mind. Don’t tell me. I don’t want to know.
Me:It’s both. Anyway, I’m mad at you for keeping Hayes to yourself all these years. [mad face emoji]
Jordan:You always said he was too grumpy.
Me:He has a good reason. You knew he was amazing and sat on that information while I attracted losers.
Jordan:Sorry, Jo Jo. I’m not a matchmaker. That’s more Nora’s department.
Me:How’s my soon-to-be sister-in-law?
Jordan:Perfectas ever.
Me:Tell her I said hi. I’ll get you both matching T-shirts at the next stop.
Jordan:She won’t wear it.
Me:That’s what makes it funny! Love you, lil bro.
Jordan:Who are you?
Me:Don’t worry. I’m still me. Just happier. And in love.
Jordan:Excuse me?!!!!!!!!!!
I check on Hayes. His focus remains on the road, blissfully oblivious.
Me:You read that right. I love your best friend. How’s that for ajuicy secret?
Me:Don’t tell him. He doesn’t know yet.
Jordan:Why would I do that? But isn’t that a little fast, Jo? It’s only been a week.
Me:How fast did you fall for Nora?
Jordan:Touché. Be careful.
Me:Aren’t I always?
Jordan:Not what I mean.
Me:He’d never hurt me.
Jordan:Not intentionally. Not everything’s underhis control.
That last text needles at me. I can’t shake the feeling that Jordan knows something.
