Jackson smiled at the compliment and put his arm around her shoulder then thought better of it and removed it till she heard what he had to say. "You're cute too. And I don't want you to take this the wrong way." Jackson sighed and looked far away "But let's be friends, see where it goes. I've only had my sisters and my marks before this. I don't want to fall into old habits, cause I could. I could be charming and show off and pretend to lure you closer. But I don't wanna do that. You're family and deserve more than that."
"I do think you are cute, a little young, but we got time. If you can be friends..." He offered his hand.
