Capítulo 26: Cheating Girlfriend.

I leave Tobias' room with him trailing behind me. When I enter the living room, Jake is sitting on the edge of the couch, his leg bouncing up and down in anticipation. Upon noticing me, he smiles, reaching out. I take hold of his hand and take a seat next to him, resting my head on his shoulder. He turns to look at me, blue eyes searching mine —

"Is everything okay?" He whispers, waiting for my response before acknowledging Tobias. I nod my head firmly, giving him a reassuring smile.

"We talked it out, everything is fine." I respond. His body visibly relaxes and he leans forward, lips pressing against mine. I kiss him back slowly, melting away any underlying fear or concerns he may have. I know his trust has been betrayed in the past regarding Violet but I'm proud of the way he handled the situation tonight. It's a far step from the way past Jake would have handled it.

Tobias clears his throat from behind us and I pull back, turning around to give him an apologetic look.
