Madi laughed. “And I have Kendra.”

There was a long pause before Jake spoke, as if he was considering what to say and how to say it. “Gina’s great. Probably just busy with work. Next time I speak to her, I’ll remind her to call you.”

Although Madi hadn’t known Gina for long, she knew she was just like her brother. If she hadn’t at least texted her back by now, there must be something going on. Madi suddenly felt anxious to talk to Gina. Maybe she knew what her brother was hiding.
