amy held me back, overhearing the conversation from downstairs.

hartley opened the front door, aria walking in next to her.

jake was pacing, talking to someone on the phone with a stupid smile.

"that is a good one. okay, sounds good. yeah, talk soon. okay. bye!"

he hung up the phone, and placed it in his pocket.

"what are we listening too?" i asked.

anmy shushed me.

"hey, jake! were you just talking to who i think you were talking too?" hartley asked.

aria had been excited to speak to him, but it withered away when she saw how happy he was talking about someone else.

"yup, starling!" jake said.

aria felt the jealousy course through her veins.

"starling?" hartley asked. "i thought it was the middle aged guy from tech support who you oddly became friends with."

aria had a blank expression, crossing their arms.

"dennis? no, i talked to him earlier. good need, i convinced him to ditch the hair piece and embrace the bald." jake took a seat on the couch.
