20 A New Beginning

Jenna couldn't believe how well Bryce fit into her life here. He had been here for a few weeks now and put up with her brothers being overprotective like a champ. 

Back in Santa Barbara before losing the first trial when she was planning on taking him with her, she had figured he would. If he could fall in love with her, he could handle the others. Though she had been a lot more toned down then…

He said he didn't mind that she was more of a tomboy that he originally thought but she didn't fully believe it. He still hadn't seen all of her bad sides yet. Though he had seen her be more competitive than usual at their Sunday dinners. That made her want to believe he would be okay with the rest of it.
