Chapter 24 - Dinner

Jay's POV 

Jare has a girlfriend and Jane has a boyfriend! Aww, my twins are officially leaving the nest… time flies so fast. One minute they're arguing over who gets the last cookie, and the next — boom — they're all mushy and in love. How dare they grow up without warning me first?!
