"Cason, this is too much! Jeremy is already heartbroken over Cathy, and you’re being so sarcastic. Why are you being so nasty?"
Jocelyn glared at me, clearly thinking I was just bitter and mean-spirited.
"Whatever."
I said dismissively and walked away, ignoring both Jocelyn and Jeremy.
As Jocelyn watched me walk away, a flicker of confusion crossed her face.
She expected me to be furious and jealous, but instead, I treated her as if she didn’t exist, completely ignoring her presence.
My icy demeanor and complete lack of response seemed to throw her off.
For the first time, she left Jeremy and rushed after me.
"Cason, what’s going on? Are you still upset about me not dropping Iris off at preschool? It’s been days. Do you really need to be this rigid?"
Jocelyn’s voice softened, but there was still a hint of accusation.
I responded flatly, "There’s no need."
