“No, thank you,” the boy replied politely. His face was soft and round. “My mom's waiting forat home. She'd

get worried if | were late.”

The boy blinked, surprised.

Just then, Jesse walked up and stopped cold. His face darkened, and his voice grew sharp. “Nina!”

“Jesse...” she whispered, shrinking back.

head around it. If Nina were his little brother instead of his sister, he would've given her a proper scolding

already.

Nina pouted, big round eyes filled with frustration.

Jesse reached for her hand. “Con. Let's go home.”
