Jacob smiled as Max caught up to him and  told him exactly what he had hoped to hear. “You have a good head start with all of this music business. But Elise doesn’t particularly like feeling as though she is close to someone. But don’t back down if she starts to seem like she’s pushing you away. You can only really get to know the daft woman by pushing through that and sticking around. It’s just trust issues and all that. I’m sure you would understand. Just stick closer to her and ask plenty of questions. She’s not very good about leaving things unanswered. Obviously spending time around people helps you get to know them. And surprises. Elise absolutely hates them but they are the best way to see her reactions to things.”
