Nina's attention to Micah irked Nash. He asked, "Why were you with him all afternoon?"

"I told you, I fell asleep there," Nina replied.

Nash couldn't understand, "Why didn't you come back if you wanted to sleep? Being alone with him can cause rumors."

Nina didn't like his tone, "How are we alone? There were kids there. Besides, Micah and I are just friends. Who cares what others say? This isn't the old days. Why are you being so old-fashioned?" Nash pursed his lips, his expression darkening.

"Fine, let's not argue."

Nina sensed that continuing would only make things worse.
