Gio, a sly little smile on his face, stands up. “Thank you for the offer, Janeen,” he says, steadier on his feet than I thought he’d be. “But I think I’ll go to bed too.”
Gio walks to Daniel and I, heading inside with us while Jerome goes to take Janeen’s arm. I roll my eyes when I see that she doesn’t even bother to hide her scowling disappointment.
Together, we all troupe into the house, Jerome and Janeen leading the way
