What do you mean
the way I make her happy?
Are you serious? Jamison scoffs.
I saw you two during that slow dance.
And before that, at school.
You make her nervous and giddy.
She gets all tongue-tied around you.
Nobody rattles Lyric Watkins like that.
I don’t know—
I don’t think she feels that way
about meanymore.
Jamison shrugs.
I’ll stay out of it.
But I hope you two work it out.
Jamison concedes,
Lyric’s tough on the folks she loves sometimes
but she’s good people.
Look, if you want to run a trail again
sometime in the new year
hit me up, Jamison continues.
Maybe,
I say.And, uh—you should apologize
to Lyric too. I think it will help.
I know. I’m working on it.
Jamison sighs.
Just trying to figure out
the right words…
What you just said to me
was pretty good.
I wave bye then
