"Yes, I do! Better than you do! I’ve been a vaer than you, remember?" He shook his head and turned to walk to the kitchen "I know a few things I don’t knohy you always think I’m such a moron"

"I don’t think you’re aon How come you’re all pro-baby va Mae did a really stupid thing" Jack leaned against the island and lowered his voice, probably so Mae and Ezra wouldn’t hear him "But that’s not Daisy’s fault She’s still just a child who really can’t control her actions And I’ we should let her run ithout recourse, but there’s gotta be so her like aher like a monster I just don’t like it when she attacks me or my friends," I said "You cared more about her safety than you did Bobby’s"

"Yeah, we’re okay," I smiled up at him

"Good" He wrapped his arainst his chest "You’re getting pretty bad ass"
