"Stop pretending." Ben's harsh words cut through the air, as cold and unrelenting as ever.

Ben's sharp gaze faltered for a moment before he replied in a cold tone, "Focus on recovering first."

With that, he turned and left the room.

Jamie slumped against the edge of the bed, exhausted and broken.
