I turned around to look at him, catching a flicker of annoyance in his eyes.

“Mr. Jennings, do you always enjoy eavesdropping on people?” I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm.

“It’s getting late. I’m heading home now. See you,” I said, not wanting to stand here making small talk with him in the dark.

“I just wanted to see your reaction. Sorry. If you don’t want to know, I’ll keep quiet,” he said, stepping aside to let me pass. “It’s almost the end of the year. You should be heading home for the New Year, right?”

“Yes!” I said, striding past him without another word.

I knew Edward was still standing
