Jeff decided to do a few things while the girls were gone: some light cleaning, studying, catching up on a tv show he was supposed to be watching with his sister. When Eve texted him, we quickly went to search his room for her wallet. Once he spotted it, he sent back a reply.

Found it! I’ll put it on the kitchen counter for you. :)
Now, Jeffrey wasn’t a particularly nosey person, but when he picked the wallet up he accidentally opened it up, and then his curiosity got the better of him. It was a surprisingly empty wallet. He’d gotten the impression that Eve maybe didn’t have a ton of money, but he hadn’t expected to find that she was… Completely broke.
Immediately, he felt guilty for snooping, and put the wallet right where he said he would. A lack of cash in her wallet didn’t mean anything, he reasoned, lots of people didn’t carry much cash. But this is New York, he reminded himself. So many places were still cash only, it was silly not to have any.
He decided to go back to the things he’d been doing before the text, but found himself drafting text after text to Eve, only to delete them every time. Would she believe that he hadn’t meant to snoop, or would the invasion of her privacy be too much, all the same? He was a little scared to find out.
Finally, though, he got a text from Anne that they would be heading back to the apartment soon, and not long after that they were back in the apartment like a whirlwind. Jeff didn’t bother to correct Anne when she called Eve his girlfriend, instead focusing his attention on Eve.
She looked… Different. He wasn’t sure if he liked it or not, honestly, he was drawn to Evelina because of her more unique sense of style in the first place, and here she was dressed exactly like Anna would. But he didn’t want to hurt her feelings. He’d learned long ago, thanks to his sister, that it was sometimes better not to start commenting on specifics when women were trying something new. For all he knew, Eve had a blast and loved going out with Anne and buying new and different things.
Jeff smiled at Eve, ”You look great,” He thought, then, that might come off the wrong way, so he added, ”You’re really beautiful. I mean- you’re always beautiful, but you look really, uh… Nice.”
Anne laughed from across the room as she was setting down her bags, ”Real smooth, Jeffers.”
Jeffrey cleared his throat, ”Did you guys pick out a movie?”
