I gave him a skeptical look. "I'm pretty sure that volunteering to be my guardian makes you the greatest friend? But I completely agree that you can't be my only friend. That's kinda lame to only have someone as old as you as my friend." I was teasing him now, again, because while I knew he was old, he was not as old as my insinuation.
Honestly though, Jake had to qualify as my best friend here, and I was okay with that. He was easy to get along with and funny and being a cop and my guardian made him by nature someone who cared about other people and was at least somewhat reliable. I couldn't ask for much more.
"The only time I have ever been in the hospital was a broken arm when I was six and to get my tonsils out," I assured him. "We're good on the hospital front. Showing up at your work for something other than to say hi, that I can't promise."
