• “"Hey," he says again as though he knows me well. "Need rescuing?"”

  Jase Garrett

• ““Is Jase already gonna marry you?”I start coughing again. “Uh, No. No, George. I’m only seventeen.” As if that’s the only reason we’re not engaged.“I’m this many.” George holds up four, slightly grubby fingers. “But Jase is seventeen and a half. You could. Then you could live in here with him. And have a big family.”Jase strides back into the room, of course, midway through this proposition. “George. Beat it. Discovery Channel is on.”George backs out of the room but not before saying, “His bed’s really comfortable. And he never pees in it.””

  George
