That next morning, I filled kie in on everything.
John b saying yes.
What that yes actually meant.
Our quiet agreement we'd made in the middle of the chaos.
I also finally told John b with truth about JJ.
Somehow, between revelations and fear and hope, John b and I had an idea.
A big one.
And Kie was helping me get ready for it.
I stepped out of the house in a simple white dress, part of my hair pinned back.
Nothing fancy. Just...intentional.
John b looked up, and his face softened immediately.
"Let's make this quick. All right? Gotta keep my head down." JJ said.
John b started toward me, instinctively reaching for my hand.
"Hey, we're gonna get out of your hair actually. Give you guys some space." John b said
"Yeah" I nodded
JJ frowned.
"What?" He asked
"Yeah. You know...it's your dad. And- and it's your mom's grave. You should do this with him." I said carefully.
He paused.
"And yours too." He said quietly.
"So why aren't you coming?" He asked
The words hit harder than expected.
I swallowed.
"I can't. Not right now" I admitted.
He studied my face, like he was trying to decide if I was lying or just breaking.
"This... this should be between you and your dad. You deserve that moment. I'll come later. I promise. I just-" I stoped myself.
"I can't see that right now." I admit
Silence stretched.
Then-
"So you're bailing?" He asked, not angry, just confused.
"No" I said immediately
"Not bailing. We're just multitasking" John b said
"We're running some errands. We'll be right back! We have something to do!" I said as John b pulled me with him.
"An errand? Right now? Are you kidding me guys? We could save pougelandia if we could just read-" JJ yelled after us.
John b slipped his arm around my shoulders, steering me away before JJ could finish.
We took the boat out until I spotted cleo waiting on the dock.
"There she is. Hey cleo!" I yelled as we pulled in.
"What's up, guys?" She asked while John b tied us off.
"Hey how's pope?" John b asked.
"They're dropping the charges." She said
