When Kallie told Jake about the dinner, his brow furrowed. "Will you be going alone?" Kallie nodded, explaining that Jerhadn't mentioned bringing anyone along.
Jake's expression darkened. "It's this Saturday, right?" When she confirmed, Jake's face grew more serious, as though he wanted to say something but held back.
