Instead, I have a few basic rules when it comes to them. First, Hope is always prepared, so I’m only there to support whatever plan she’s carrying out. Second, no matter how much drama there is, somehow Jack and Hope always end up back together. He’s literally the boy next door, and the son of the worship leader of the Baptist church her mom visits now and then. They have next to nothing in common, but that’s never mattered before. This isn’t my first rodeo, and I know how they all end.
