As Jodie and Ryan continued their leisurely stroll through the picturesque neighborhood, their conversation drifted back to their encounter with Betty Cooper.
"She seems nice," Jodie remarked, a thoughtful expression crossing her face as she recalled their conversation.
Ryan nodded in agreement. "Yeah, she definitely has a friendly vibe," he replied, casting a sideways glance at Jodie. "And did you see the way she smiled? It's like she genuinely cares about people."
Jodie smiled, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "You sound like you're already a fan," she teased, nudging him playfully with her elbow.
Ryan chuckled, shrugging nonchalantly. "I'm just observant," he replied with a grin. "But seriously, she seems like the type of person you'd want as a neighbor."
Jodie nodded in agreement, her mind still mulling over their conversation with Betty. "It's interesting though, isn't it? How she knew who we were because of Jughead."
Ryan raised an eyebrow, intrigued by her observation. "Yeah, it makes you wonder what else Jughead might have told her about us," he mused aloud, his curiosity piqued.
Jodie laughed, shaking her head at his playful speculation. "I highly doubt he's been spreading gossip about us," she said with a smirk. "But it does make me wonder what else we might discover about our new neighbors."
As they continued to walk and talk, the sun began to dip lower in the sky, casting long shadows across the pavement. The air was filled with the sound of birds chirping and distant laughter, creating a serene backdrop for their conversation.
With each step they took, Jodie and Ryan felt more at ease in their new surroundings, grateful for the unexpected friendships they had already formed. And as they walked hand in hand, their hearts filled with excitement and anticipation for the adventures that lay ahead, they knew that they were embarking on a journey that would change their lives in ways they never could have imagined.
