Harry gets out of the car too and goes to stand next to her. They must be fighting, I think. Jessa sometimes likes to flirt with the neighbor kid, and Harry gets upset.
Silas walks in a minute later. He grabs me from behind, wrapping his arms around me and kissing my neck.
"Hey, Charlie Baby," he says, breathing me in. I lean into him.
"What's up with those two?" I ask, still watching them out the window.
"I don't know. They were really weird on the ride home. Barely spoke."
"Uh, oh," I say. "Must be the hot neighbor boy again." I hear the front door slam, and I call Jessa into the kitchen. "Jessa, come here!"
She wanders in, slowly, without Harry in tow.
"What's up?" I ask her. "You look shell shocked."
"Do I?" she asks.
I look at Silas and he shrugs.
"Where's Harry?"
Jessa jabs a thumb over her shoulder. "He's in there."
"Okay, well you two get ready for dinner. We'll eat as soon as the salad is done."
She nods, and I swear she's going to start crying.
"Hey, Jessa," I say as she turns around to leave.
"Yeah?"
"I was thinking we could go to Miami for your birthday next month. Does that sound okay to you?"
"Yeah," she says. "Cool."
When she's gone I turn to Silas, whose eyebrows are drawn together.
"I didn't know we were going to Miami," he says. "I can't get time off for work that quick."
"Silas," I say sharply. "Her birthday isn't for six more months."
The line between his eyes relaxes and his mouth opens. "Oh, yeah," he says. And then realization hits. "Oh. Oh." He brings a hand up to the back of his neck. "Shit, Charlie. Not again."
