Who: Jo and Ella What: Besties being besties Where: Their house When: Saturday Warnings: Jesse failed to show up for lunch with Jo Status: Closed
Ella left work early, cutting out after she'd gotten a text from Jo saying Jesse hadn't shown up for lunch like they'd planned. Ella hadn't actually met Jesse yet, but she'd seen him DJing around town, and she'd seen how seeing him had brightened Jo's smile. She didn't need Jo to tell her it wasn't like Jesse to not show up. She knew it wasn't normal, because Jo wouldn't be kind of almost dating a guy who didn't show up when he said he would.
So when Jo said Jesse didn't show up, and her messages to him bounced back, Ella knew exactly what that meant. She'd gotten someone to cover the last two hours of her shirt, and she'd headed home with a stop at the store to get ice cream and hot fudge. She detoured to the kitchen to get spoons and to heat up the hot fudge so it would actually be hot, and then she headed up to Jo's room.
"Who takes care of you when you're down?" Ella sauntered into Jo's room.
