The Feeling Was Mutual
Jake made Samatha feel like he was honestly interested in getting to know her. He responded to her text instantly, and it appeared as if he wanted to talk to her. He initiated most of the conversations and always made sure that they had ample things to talk about.
He gave the idea that he was experiencing the same emotions as Samantha. Samantha thought it was fate that brought them together! She had no idea what she’d gotten herself into.
