Jace turned to look at me, like he was waiting for my reaction. "You know what he regrets missing out on?
Oh, he was testing me. Trying to see if | got the whole Wayne-likes-you thing.
| played it cool. "Guess only Wayne knows what he missed."
Jace didn't push it. We kept walking, and when we passed a koi pond, he casually mentioned, "He's got a lot of
fish in there. | heard when he calls 'Dinner time, they all swim right up to him."
"Wait, so Wayne's a fish whisperer now? | laughed.
"Don't believe me? Let's test it out," Jace said, grinning as he ledto the edge of the pond. Sure enough, the
water was full of koi-red, yellow, white, even sspeckled ones. They looked plump and healthy, like they had
their own personal chef. And they were way too cute. "Go ahead, give it a try," Jace encouraged.
| reached out to touch the water, but as soon as | did, the fish scattered like | was skind of monster." Uh,
how exactly am | supposed to try this?"
*#ust call out ‘Dinner time," he suggested, laughing.
"But | don't have any food. If they actually cover, look like a total fraud."
Jace cracked up. "I'll grab sfood," he said, already walking off toward a container.
Feeling like a complete dork, | cleared my throat and shouted, "Dinner time!"

Jace turned around, his grin getting bigger. "You gotta be louder. They can't hear you from underwater.”
I rolled my eyes, knowing he was just messing with me, but I raised my voice anyway. "Dinner time! Dinner
time!*
Still nada. The koi were like, 'No thanks, we're good."
| was convinced Jace was totally messing with me.
He returned with the fish food. "Why didn't it work?"
"Because you're pranking me," | huffed.
"I swear, I'm not! Maybe we just didn't get the timing right. Next time, we'll ask Wayne for the secret." He
handeda handful of fish food. "Throw sin. They'll definitely cfor that."
| couldn't summon them with my voice, so | figured I'd try the universal language: food.
As soon as the fish food hit the water, it was like a feeding frenzy. The koi practically jumped on it. They weren't
even scared of me-one of them swam so close | could've pet it if | wanted.
After the fish had their fill, Jace ledup to the front door. He rattled off a string of numbers, and I typed them
in, unlocking it.
