Titus's voice was sharp and laced with accusation as he stepped ebser, his every movement controlled but filled with restrained anger. "I was wondering," he began, his tone dripping with sarcasm, "how the hell your ex-boyfriend managed to beat us here with such obvious knowledge of why we came in the first place."

I could see where this was going, and it infuriated me. I refused to let him drag me into his baseless accusations. Crossing my arms, I stood my ground. "I don't know what you're trying to say," I said firmly, my voice cool and steady.
