**Jax**
After multiple rounds of hugs, a tearful reunion between Chloe and Isach, and a semi-tense introduction between them and Piper, everyone scattered, leaving me to once again babysit the witch. At this rate, I could build a fantastic resume as a nanny to grown-a** women. Seriously, why did this job always fall to me? First Chloe. Then Abby. Now Piper. Who would be next?
"Do you want something to eat or drink?" I moved toward the kitchen, needing to put some distance between us. "Feel free to make yourself comfortable."
"No, but thank you." Piper sat on the couch. "Chloe seems nice."
"She is." I positioned myself near the dining room table, my back against a chair, giving me a clear view of Piper while staying a safe distance away.
"Your brother is really nice, too. He's funny." Her face lit up with a teasing glow, and her sharp, all-knowing gaze zeroed in on me.
"I'll be sure to get you an application to join his fan club," I deadpanned.
