I curled my lips and said, “I thought he was messing with you, so I gave him a piece of my mind. Anyway, enough about that guy. I was just calling you to tell you that I wanted to stay at your house tonight. Tell me the password so that I can at least have a place to sleep.”

She sighed, “What happened? Did you quarrel with Ashton? Weren’t you guys at A City for work purposes?”

In one breath, she asked so many questions that I felt dizzy.

at him, I trembled with anger, “Ashton, don’t you know me well enough? Am I a child? Don’t you know why I am angry? I had already apologized to you, so why are you still holding it against me?

was going to be like before – knowing that I would win the argument, he would slam the door and leave, but he did not. Instead, he put the box in his hand next to me and picked up the pillow on the floor. Then, he looked at me and said, “I am cross with you because you know that angering Tessa is dangerous, but you still did it. I am upset that you don’t put your safety first or take care of yourself.
