Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Cyrus' casual description of Landon made the tension around them rise to the roof.

Landon's eyes shot wide open, and his entire body tensed up!

How could he describe him like that?

He hadn't been away from his home for too long. During that time, Cyrus had already come to create chaos in his house?

Alyssa and Jasper had heard the ruckus at the door. They walked on over.

"Cyrus? You're still here?" Alyssa, sharp-minded, noticed the standoff between Cyrus and Landon, shooting them a suspicious look.

"Oh, I wasn't too sure how to open this door. Mr. Landon came back just in time and opened the door for me. I'll be leaving now."

Jasper stayed silent. As much as he knew that Cyrus was kidding, Jasper couldn't help but feel jealous again.
