"Come on, bundle into the back," JJ said, letting Nicholas drive this time. "Jesse needs this whole seat to himself, but I can sit with you if you want." JJ handed him a bag of food as well. "And you can eat on the way home."
Jayden felt a little overwhelmed, but he crawled into the van anyway. He was glad, at least, to accept the food. The second he was buckled in, he tore into the bag and started wolfing the food down. He was a teenage boy with an appetite as such, at least when he was feeling okay. And now that Jesse was here, he was. He ate about twenty fries at once, and started chewing happily.
JJ grinned at him and then back up at Jesse, reaching up to pat him on the back.
