I don’tback together was a lot of work—I don’tit off to her

I’m shocked, however, that Kaylee made no comment when I mentioned Eliza and Jack

Never fooled around or anything, had never even gone on an official date But Kaylee met him first and befriended him first and had a crush on him first—which means she automatically considered him…hers She found him so no one else could keep him

The night she found out Eliza had befriended Jack, things went downhill, and shortly thereafter?

“I wouldn’t call him a nerd He won this because he’s smart”
