Cordy bit her lip, but she knew that John was going to be ruthless if she told him that Kyle Jessop misled her.

“Supposing that I were dating Zoe, it’s even more curious that you’d find it logical that I would have you two appear in the same place,” John continued, putting weight behind every word. “How irresponsible do you think I am toward a relationship that I could do something like that?!”
