Magnolia Parks: The Long Way Home (Magnolia Parks Universe, #3)

by Jessa Hastings

And I stand there, bored already but not bored because BJ’s standing opposite me, staring right at me with eyes I used to think I could read but maybe I know nothing anymore. Still even if that’s true — I want to poke the bear, because I love poking the bear. Because I love the bear. That stupid bear, standing over there in the black balloon leg trousers from Tom Wood, a grey hoodie from Balenciaga (which feels like a personal attack because he knows I love him especially in grey) that he’s wearing under the black reverse monogram puffer jacket from Louis Vuitton, which feels annoying because I’m wearing a Louis Vuitton puffer too and I don’t feel like being on the same page as him like that because we aren’t on the same page in any way that actually matters. I stare over at him, hypothesising how to best make him cross or sad or annoyed or just anything more than how indifferent he was to me last night.
