Summary
“Thank you so much,” Jimmy tells her, pouring every ounce of sincerity into his words—and he truly does mean it. Pearl is risking possibly her only friend just to honor her deal with Jimmy. And maybe that should make him feel worse, because at the end of the day, it’s pity fueling the kind words and actions given to the Ranchers—but Jimmy looks at Pearl and sees nothing but guilt in her exhausted expression. No matter what Scott might say about her, Pearl is a kind soul that just wants a friend and has received nothing but unfair scrutiny.
Jimmy throws her a bone, gives her a chance to take it all back. Maybe he isn’t as eager to get burned by his foolhardy trust as he thought he was. “Are you sure?”
“Yeah.” Pearl waves a flippant hand—all but throwing the metaphorical bone back in Jimmy’s face. “You have it. I can’t just leave like that, that’s not me.”
Unbeknownst to Pearl, Jimmy decides right then and there that Pearl is Team Rancher’s best friend.
Or:
Pearl befriends Team Rancher. This changes everything and nothing at all.
