"I understand Riley, but for how long are you going to keep this up? I can see right through your smile. You're hurt." He said. I felt tears roll down my cheeks.

"I'm like old enough to be your mum." I say to Jakob not even bothering to hide away how amusing I am finding the idea. "You're only ten months older than me."
