Nope, Jack didn’t smoke.

I was completely amazed that the game happened at all. Jack had given up on it entirely because not enough people could make it. We had decided to just watch a movie or something when I called Ron. I don’t think we started until after 10.

Those mean boys stole all my money and kept me up past my bedtime.
