Brad Six Years Ago "Dude, Reed. I met the hottest girl today. Anyway, if you have plans tonight, you have to cancel them. I guess her friend, Gina, just moved to town, and she refused to go on a date with me unless it was a double date. I offered to take them both out and then home, but Jessa declined that offer."

"Or you can quit being your dramatic self. Gina has no red flags. I don't know why you would even think that." "Like I said, I can't put my finger on it, but my gut is telling me that something is off, and you know my gut is always right. Always "
