The days that followed were filled with a quiet understanding between them. The air had shifted, and while things weren't fully resolved, there was an openness now that hadn't existed before. Grace found herself spending time with each of the guys, not in the tense, almost-awkward way it had been, but in a way that was real. She could see how much they cared for her-each in their own way.
JJ was still the same reckless, wild guy he'd always been, but there was a tenderness in his actions toward her that she hadn't noticed before. John B. was still charming and carefree, but there was something deeper in his gaze when they spoke, something that told her he was considering his feelings more seriously now. Pope was quieter than the rest, but when they talked, he was sincere, his loyalty to her never wavering.
And then there was Kiara. Grace hadn't expected things to be so smooth with her, but over time, the walls between them continued to crumble. Kiara was still fiercely protective of her friends, but there was no longer that quiet distance between them. They talked more, shared more, and it felt like the bridge between them was finally rebuilt.
