Jade tapped me on the arm and gave me a questioning brow raise, but I shook my head and blinked at her to assure her that everything would be fine.

“This is not the time to argue with me over what you think I’m saying or not. You may think you know what you’re doing, but you don’t.

“I am not desperate for anything,” I denied. “I think it’s better for you to forget that I have this number. Never call me again, and focus on your fiancée.”
