“To who?”
“To anyone looking. I mean you spent the last hour staring at him dancing with another girl from across the room.”
“That’s only cuz Willow’s dress is hideous!”
“Harley…”
“What? Did you see what she’s wearin’? The girl is so cliché. She has no sense of personal style. I’ve seen that dress in every store. Like come on, have a little bit of self-expression.”
“Is her dress bothering you as much as her having Jackson’s attention?”

“Besides… her boobs are all out, so… he’s mostly been starin’ at those.”
“Well, he was staring at yours earlier and most of the night.”
For some reason her comment made my heart speed up. “He was?”

“Aunt Bailey was the best.”
“Willow doesn’t mean anything to Jackson.”
“I doubt that.”
“She doesn’t, Harley. Boys will be boys, and he is no different.”
“They’re together a lot.”
“Only because she’s over for Journey, but he doesn’t care about her like he does you.”
