“So, Alexa,” I said, bringing her eyes back to my own. “I guess we’ll catch up later then.” “Okay. See ya.” She gave Jake another smile before hitching her tote bag onto her shoulder and turning towards the house. As Jake and I climbed the steps to the front door, I looked back over the fence and saw Alexa staring in our direction. I gave her a quick wave, which she returned with a wave of her own. I’d noticed her expression when Jake arrived. I knew it was his good looks that had caught her attention. It wasn’t surprising. He had the same effect on everyone. My twin, however, was the lucky one. She was the girl he had fallen for, and when she opened the front door, and he reached for her hand, a sliver of envy erupted inside me.”
