We also needed to work as a unit but we couldn’t do that until all of us worked on our relationship with her. Then perhaps the two of us could work together to figure this out with Lia.
“Good luck, buddy. You’ll know what to do,” Matt assured me.
I did hope he was right.

Lia
This was the date I had been dreading. Well both dreading and curious about it because I wondered how Jesse was when the two of us were together. Maybe he would be less intimidating than he normally was. Or he would just be worse.
I was waiting outside for him that evening. Jesse walked out, that cold demeanor still there, but his face softened when he found me.
“Hey, Lia.”
“Hi Jesse,” I squeaked out, resisting the urge to take a step away from him. “What’s the plan tonight?”
“Coffee.”
“Coffee?” I asked.
