“Thank you!” Jessica replied warmly and cheerfully.
The rest of the day drifted by without any .
Jessica chatted with them for a while, then excused herself and settled into the living room. With her laptop
open, she turned her attention to Jack’s startup. The problems waiting for her weren't the end of the world, but

desperate for sympathy.
“He’s only putting on a show. Trust me, as long as you don’t start anything, he won't hurt you,” Jessica assured
him, fully convinced Melvin wouldn't cross that line.

“I'm done with this. | want no part of it anymore!” Jack broke. “I quit.”
“Could you repeat that?” Jessica asked, thinking she must have heard wrong.
“You can’t imagine how scary he was when he walked in today. Most of the time, he’s cool and collected. But
today, just being around him was enough to make my skin crawl.” Jack sounded frazzled. “If he ever catches me
with any of my girlfriends again, he’ll pindown and actually beatup!”
