Jocelyn, Jax and I sit in the living room of my new boot. 

"Hey Jax," Jocelyn says, trying to start a conversation. "Did I tell you about what happened on the ship?" 

What was she up to? 

Jax looks at her "What ship?" he asks. 

Jocelyn gives him a look. "Oh, you know, the ship that you were almost drowned by a kraken?" She says. 

Oh my goblins Jocelyn, no. 

"Yeah, what about it?" Jax asks. 

If she tells him I'll never live it down- 

"Oh, only that Gilly completely freaked out," she says. 

Noooooo. 

Jax turns to look at me then turns to Jocelyn again. "Really? Go on." 

"I did not!" I insist. 

Jocelyn grins. "Well, Gilly flipped. She was all screaming your name-" 

"I only did that twice!" I exclaim, glaring at her. I was going to kill her. 

"Well yeah, and she was going to jump off the ship, but I stopped her." 

Jax's eyebrows reach the ceiling. He turns and grins at me, laughing. 

"I didn't- I wouldn't- why would I-" What happened to my LYING SKILLS?!?!?!?!?!? 

"And you said you weren't worried," Jax says in a teasing tone. 

I feel ripples of heat slowly spread across my face. Fiddlesticks. I was caught.
