“Come on, Wes. Turn the frown upside down,”
Jasmine said coming out of his car. “You might not believe this, but you’re
doing great… really.”
Wes glared at her. “Janet doesn’t even want to
ride in the same car with me and I’m doing great?” he growled.
“Yes, at least she’s not chewing you out at every turn,” she
replied. “You just gotta give her time.”
“How much time?” Wes asked, locking the car
and pocketing his keys.
“Only Janet knows that,” Jasmine said. “Just
be polite and don’t get sarcastic or nasty no matter what she says. She’ll
behave tonight cuz we’re here for Mom, so you won’t have too much to deal with.”
