Wait...
He... liked her? Her eyes widened and her cheeks were growing more red. Her heart thumped wildly against her chest and her arms dangled to her sides, causing Oliver to jump out of them just in time. "You do?" she squeaked, her voice small. She had liked Jory for so long, yet she kept it secret since she thought he only wanted to be friends. She looked down at the ground, playing with her hands. "I actually... like you too. I have for... quite a while..." she said, slowly looking back up at him.
Jory braced himself for the worst, just in case things did not worked out. As Ronnie let go of Oliver in shock, he thought to himself.
"Better get over it, Jory.'' He watched Oliver stare at Ronnie reproachfully.
But wait. She liked him too? Jory decided he had not heard correctly. Quite a while. That had to be since he was with Ari.
"You do?'' She did! He was ecstatic! He took her hands in his.
"Why didn't you tell me before?'' he asked.
