Maybe I should perform the third challenge or completely ignore and proceed to the fourth challenge that I'm planning to."

"Maybe you should dare Janice to do a hundred challenges. Who knows? You might fall for her all over again. "You two have been friends since you were kids. You're perfect for each other."
