Seeing him give in so easily, she couldn't help but smile. She wanted to reach out and mess up his hair—he was
just too adorable.
“From now on, go to work like usual,” she said gently. “If | run into trouble, I'll call you. Promise.”
Melvin gave a soft hum, agreeing but thinking it over. Still, he made squiet changes to his plans.

If he remembered right, Jessica had only been back for a few days. They had just reconnected at his wedding two
days ago.
Jessica and Melvin had moved in together after just a few days? That was fast. Gerard couldn’t believe his ears.
