Jamie was clearly displeased with Ben's attitude.

"You're doubting my sister?" she snapped.

"That's not what I meant," Ben said, rubbing his temples as he realized how poorly he had expressed himself.

"Ben. No, I should call you by your real name, Jack Green. Do you even understand how much she sacrificed for you? How could you doubt her?"

Jamie cut him off. The joy she had felt just moments ago now felt like someone had dumped cold water over her.
