Chapter 1281:
“Then let's head back.” Jesse reached for her hand—he had already packed up her things.
Nina left reluctantly, her heart still lingering with the fun she’d been having. After a full afternoon of running
around, she dozed off in the car not long after they hit the road.
Jesse gently adjusted her seat so she'd be more comfortable.
When they finally pulled into the driveway, Alan was already outside, ready to help them in.
After dinner, Nina looked a little down and slipped off to her room without saying much. Alan turned to Jesse and
asked, “What's up with Nina?”
“She had a bit of a falling out with Jerome.” Jesse had hit the nail on the head. She'd been so caught up playing
with her new group of friends that she hadn't had the time—or maybe the space—to think about it. But now that
they were back hand the house felt quieter, her thoughts naturally drifted back to Jerome.

“That's up to you,” Jesse told her. He had always believed that kids’ friendships were something special—simple,
honest, and not weighed down like adult ones. “If you want to stay friends, go find him. If you think it’s not worth
it, then let it go.”
“I do want to stay friends!” Nina said with resolve.
She was just upset that Jerhad made her choose. After all, she had other kids to play with too. But she had a
strong sense of what was right, and she wasn’t one to budge easily.

“But it wasn’t my fault. I'm not going to say sorry.”
“So what's your plan?” Jesse asked. He had a pretty good idea already, but he kept it to himself.
“Can you helpget in touch with him?” Nina asked, eyes gleaming with quiet determination. “Invite him over
to our house tomorrow.”
“How should I invite him?” Jesse asked.
“Just tell him you miss him.”
