What’s with the face?” Jordan asked. “You’re scaring my cabernets with that scowl.” “I’m just working through some stuff,” he said vaguely. Jordan raised an eyebrow, studying him. “Prison stuff?” “More like post-prison stuff. Nothing we need to talk about.” The last thing he needed his super-perfect twin sister with her super-perfect FBI boyfriend knowing was that he was in another dispute, of sorts, with the U.S. Attorney’s Office. He was cranky enough about the situation without Jordan laying into him about it. He’d left prison several weeks ago and was supposed to be moving on with his life, yet the vestiges of the place still clung to him. Like bad BO. He picked up four of the wine bottles Jordan had unpacked. “Where do you want these?” She pointed. “In the empty bin over there, with the other cabernets.” She looked over when Kyle came back to the bar. “So what kind of post-prison stuff?” Now he was getting suspicious. “What’s with the twenty questions?” “Sue me for trying to open a dialogue here. Geez. I’ve just been a little worried about you, since I’ve heard that it can sometimes be difficult for ex-inmates to reenter normal life.” Kyle shot her a look as he grabbed more wine bottles. “Where, exactly, did you hear that? Siblings of Ex-Cons Anonymous?” Jordan glared. “Yes, we have weekly meetings at the YMCA,” she retorted. Then she waved her hand vaguely. “I don’t know, it’s just…something I saw on TV this past weekend.” Ah. Kyle suddenly had a sneaking suspicion about the cause of his sister’s concern. “Jordo…by any chance were you watching The Shawshank Redemption again?” “Pfft. No.” She saw his knowing expression and caved. “Fine. I was flipping through the channels and it was on TNT. You try turning that movie off.” She looked at him matter-of-factly. “It’s very compelling.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Julie James" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/julie-james/seriously-what-s-with-the-face-jordan-asked-you-re-scaring-my/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fb8/julie-james-844_gaze_seriously-what-s-with-the-face-jordan-as_1204076.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fb8/julie-james-844_gaze_seriously-what-s-with-the-face-jordan-as_1204076.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fb8/julie-james-844_gaze_seriously-what-s-with-the-face-jordan-as_1204076.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Seriously.
