#16.

You look Jessica up-&-down a few times, finding it unbelievable she is at a party being held for you, let alone how hot she looks. You barely notice, outside of the feeling, as your jaw drops. Jessica must have noticed as well.

"What?!" she asks, throwing-up her hands.

"Jessica," you tell her when you are finally able to speak again. "Don't take this the wrong way, because you always look great."

"Thank you," she responds quietly, smiling at you.

"I just can't believe ANY woman looks that great with so many kids!!" you add honestly.

"Well, that's just it," she says, walking closer to you & allowing the door to close behind her. "I don't have the kids."
