Mase: Hear what?
Cam: That guy Graham hooked up with Lexi.
Jace: What?!
Cam: Yup. Saw him sneaking out of her room this morning.
Eli: How do you know it wasn’t Laci?
Jace: Does it matter?
Mase: As long as it’s not my girl, that guy can fuck whoever he likes.
Cam:**Crying Laughing Emoji**Believe me, it was Lexi.
Eli: Think Levi knows?
Jace: No. And you better not say a damn thing.
Cam: I thought you liked him?
Jace: I do. But he’s older than me. I don’t think Lee would like Lexi dating an older guy.
Cam:Who said anything about dating? **Eggplant Emoji** **Cat Emoji** **Water Emoji**
Mase: See you at the airport. Jace, I’ll see you when you get back from your honeymoon.
