On Friday night, Trevor, Wynn, Jordyn, along with Beck and Miles, all went out for dinner together. D
Recently, Jordyn had been going to see Wynn every day. Celeste had assumed that she wouldn’t think of her this weekend either.
But to her surprise, on Saturday morning, Jordyn showed up at the Rodriguez residence. “Mom, I’m here.”

Jordyn actually felt a little reluctant. She had thought Celeste might ask her to stay for dinner.
But before she could think much more about it, the car Trevor had sent arrived. Jordyn said her goodbyes to Celeste and the others in the Rodriguez family and got into the car.
