“You say you have no feelings for Corrie, but your concern for her was evident the moment you encountered her. Why does her disastrous blind date matter to you?” Elyse challenged.

Hearing that, Jayden sensed her jealousy stirring once more. “I merely asked. You’re overthinking it,” he explained helplessly.

Elyse’s heart sank at his response. “What do you mean by overthinking? Corrie is clearly targeting me, trying to embarrass me. Didn’t you notice?”
