Yeah, everything’s fine,” he answers, sounding a little distracted. He looks even more stunning here, with his skin sun-kissed, causing the freckles on his nose to show more prominently. I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to how breath-stealing Jake truly is. “All okay?” I ask, turning my head to look at him. With a sigh, Jake ends his call and tosses his iPhone onto the side table.
