Chapter 1489

Jeo was a straight shooter, always answering honestly when asked. “Yeah, Hannah isn’t feeling too well and needs some time to chill.”

Then someone said, “Jeo, when Hannah gets better, you gotta encourage her to come hang out more, and chat with us. Don’t let her be like she was during the holidays, hardly ever leaving the house, making us think she’s some big-shot celebrity who looks down on us old neighbors.”
