A little. When I won something, girls would start rumors.

Emma:

We can talk about it if you want.

Jojo:

No, you asked about Delta. Let’s get that out of the way. I don’t want people to think I was ungrateful for it. I know it meant a lot to people to see me wear that crown. I think it still does, even with how it ended. That wasn’t intentional. I wasn’t hiding that I had August; I just didn’t read the rules.

Emma:

Can we talk about that now? Becoming a teen mother?

Jojo:

Sure. It was a hard year, so I may need to take a break now and then.

Emma:

That’s fine. And start wherever you’d like.

Jojo:

I should talk about Theo.

Emma:

Theo King? Your daughter’s father?
