“You might regret your choice,” Jennie murmured.
“Don’t borrow trouble over something that hasn't even happened yet,” Brook said gently.
She gave him a faint smile. “What have you been reading lately? You're starting to sound pretty profound.”
“It’s not what I've been reading,” Brook replied, holding her hand. “It’s what I’ve been thinking ever since | met
