I rushed over and slapped her arms in disbelief, my eyes wide. “Why didn't you tellyou were coming?! Shouldn't you be at hwith your aunt and uncle instead?!” I pulled her into a tight hug, lifting her off the ground with so much joy that I felt like I could fly. "I've been spending twith them every day. It's not like have to stay just for the festival. Besides, they always try to setup on blind dates around this time. It's really annoying.

Jean's smile tumed sly, her brows raised. She looped her arm through mine and asked, "Surprised?" "Of course I am!" Once the excitement settled, I asked, "Have you booked a room? It's peak season right now, and rooms aren't exactly easy to find." "Don't even getstarted. I couldn't get one tonight. My mom won't be ready till tomorrow, so I figured I'd crash with you."

"No, he's been really respectful. He said he wouldn't cross any lines until I was completely ready," I said, doing my best to defend Soren's image.
Jean chuckled.
"Why are you laughing?" "You've already talked about it seriously, which means youve at least thought about it. Even if nothing happened, you two are already close!" "Jean! Seriously?!" My face burned-I wanted to cover her mouth.
She kept laughing. "Please... We're adults. No need to be shy." She strolled out of the elevator, dragging her luggage behind her, completely shameless.
"In any case, I'm staying in your room tonight. I've got nowhere else to go. Honestly, I'm curious to see who you'll choose your best friend or your boyfriend." I pretended to strangle her and gritted my teeth. “You, you, you... Of course I choose you! You call this way just to see me-how could I not?!"
