Just getting the news about what had happened, Jo breathed in but then let out a sigh of relief. She didn't wish that this would happen, but she was happy that it did. Of course she didn't let out that sigh of relief until she knew that both of them were okay with what had happened, but when she got an okay text from not only Danny but Lacey too, she couldn't help but smile.

Lacey had told her the previous day that things weren't going good with Danny anymore. She still wanted to be best friends with him, but she didn't know if being in a relationship with him was a good idea. When Jo asked Lacey why she felt that was she said that "everything just seemed easier when we were just friends. Being a couple has just complicated everything."

Not knowing that things were actually going to end between Danny and Lacey, Jo didn't get her hopes up. After all, it wasn't right to hope that their relationship would end since Lacey and Danny were her best friends. Actually she tried to help Lacey with how she was feeling, making excuses for Danny, saying that not finding his dads killer was hard on him, but Lacey wasn't willing to take anything that Jo had said. Then after Jo had finished talked Lacey explained to Jo that she thought she had met someone else that she was starting to fall in love with, but no other details were told.

Now Lacey and Danny were officially no longer a couple, and Jo couldn't help but let a little smile appear on her face. She needed to go talk to her mom about what had been going on, because she always ended up telling her mom everything anyways. Walking down the steps, Jo hoped that she wasn't going to walk into one of her mom and dad's arguments. Ever since Kyle found out that Tess knew about Vikram's life two years ago, they had been having problems. They had started going to counseling to try and fix things, and it was helping but they're marriage was still rough sometimes.

When Jo noticed that there was no yelling going on she continued to walk down the steps. She would most likely find her mom in the kitchen working on dinner, and that was exactly where she found her. Looking at her daughter, Tess smiled softly. "What's going on?"

"Lacey and Danny just broke up." Jo told her mom.

"Well you don't look to upset over it." Tess said looking at her daughter and putting the black cooking pan that she held in her hand on the stove.

"Well, I mean I feel bad because I know that they loved each other, but my feelings for Danny haven't gone away. I didn't even really want them to start dating in the first place, but I wasn't going to tell Lacey that she couldn't be with him." Jo didn't understand exactly how to explain how she was feeling, but she hoped that her mom could somewhat understand what she was trying to say.

"Things happen for a reason. Maybe this is God's way of making you and Danny be more than friends. I've realized here lately that you and Danny have been a lot closer." Tess said as she turned on the water in the sink to wash off her spatula. "It's actually made me think that this is what it would be like if nothing had happened that day when you all were eleven."

Jo knew what her mom was talking about. Even though a death had brought her closer to Danny, sometimes it felt as if nothing bad had ever happened. Sometimes it felt as if they had never stopped being friends for the five years that Danny way in juvie.

"May Danny come to dinner tonight?"

All Tess had to do was give Jo a smile, and Jo knew that it was okay for Danny to come over for dinner. After all, Tess and Kyle both had started getting use to Jo hanging out with Danny a lot.

Walking back up to her room, Jo smiled as she clicked on Danny's contact on her phone. At first she couldn't decide rather she wanted to text or call, but she decided that she would rather text him.

You: So, my mom said that it was alright if you come over for dinner tonight. Do you want to? I mean you don't have to because I know you and Lacey just broke up and what not, but I wanted to let you know that it was an option. Text me back when you get this.

Jo was always impatient, so when she laid on her bed she laid her phone on her stomach that way she could feel it vibrate when she had received a new text. It had only took about a minute before her phone started to tickle her stomach.

Danny Desai: Hey, I'm up for that. Maybe we can have one of our famous movie nights like we use to. I'll be over in just a few minutes. See you soon.

Jo let a small smile grow across her face knowing that Danny was still wanting to spend time with her. Now she just had to wait for Danny to get there.
