Was it just an act to make sure I fell for you, so you could secure your contract? Was it all fake from th

"I surprised myself, to be honest. I didn’t know I could turn on the waterworks like that. The trick is to think of something really sad… like the time I dropped my ice cream as a kid." Jack chuckled, shaking his head in disbelief. "That’s what you thought of? Ice cream?" He leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a whisper. "You were so convincing.

His head tilted slightly, the slick veneer of his confidence disturbed by the unexpected turn in my words. His dark eyes narrowed, scanning my face for any hint of deceit.
