❝ Not necessarily — there were quite the number of tweets on Kevin’s timeline that night, though. A few snaps from Josie. Kind of a shame you thought I’d not have heard. And you know better than to think I’d care about an invite, ghoul. I only have your best interests at heart when I say you should be careful. ❞ But the words came out sarcastic and bitter-sweet, much as his had done when he spoke of being a Good Samaritan.
It wasn’t that Cheryl didn’t think any harm might come of it… on the contrary, she had no idea what to expect. Veronica Lodge had shown herself capable of using people at will and yet, she’d also shown herself capable of being one of the nicest and most genuine souls. Cheryl was just jealous. In so many ways.

She busied herself with changing the song.
“Be careful, she says.” Reggie replied with an airy tone. “Of?” he gave her the chance to give the extended details on what exactly he was supposed to be careful of, or whom. That of which, he already knew would be trivial, but, entertained the idea anyhow.

All factors and circumstances aside, Reggie wouldn’t have generally recoiled from Cheryl.
“Oh, I’ll bet.” he submitted with a slight sarcasm. “You know I’m down.” Reggie slowly moved his gaze, following where her hand rest at his neck, and to Cheryl. He eyed her for a passing moment. “So, is this a new thing? First, the warnings... and now, you’re telling me about much better places.” Reggie emphasized. “You’ve got all the answers, huh?”
