Chapter 0531

Twenty minutes later, when we’re fully ensconced in the dreamscape and sitting quietly on the side of the cliff, Jackson looks at me with raised eyebrows. “Well?”

I sigh, letting my exhaustion take me as I look up into Jackson’s sapphire eyes. “Rafe got dumped. At least, I think he did. I mean, I’m pretty sure.” Jackson just stares at me, his lips parting in his disbelief.

I bite my lip, waiting for him to process it. But he just stays…completely still. “Jacks?” I ask, my face screwing up in confusion. “Are you…okay?”

He starts a little, coming back to himself, blinking rapidly for the first time in like, an entire minute. “I mean…what? Daphne – she broke up with him? Why? Are you sure?”

I shrug. “She kind of…implied that that’s what was going to happen, and considering how Rafe looked when he just came back to the room…yeah, Jacks. I’m sure.”

He exhales like the air has gone completely out of him, deflated. “Wow, I…I can’t believe she did that. What is she even thinking? Rafe is…Rafe is so great.”
