Jared was facing Jeb now, one hand held out in front of him, palm up, fingers curled limply
Now that the others were gone, their bodies slumped into a looser stanceJeb was even grinning
under his thick beard, as though he'd enjoyed the standoff at gunpoint
“Please don't put this on me, Jeb,” Jared said“Kyle is right about one thing–Ican't make a

of you
I just stared, wary of his easy, chatty tone
“I wish you wouldn't talk to it like that,” Jared muttered
