Caleb, who was usually a chatterbox, suddenly stopped talking. “I’m going out for some fresh air,” he said, putting on a distant attitude in front of Lydia.

“Please take care of her, then,” Benjamin said, then left.

This angered Caleb so much that he yelled at his retreating figure, “We’re taking care of Gracie voluntarily, okay? You didn’t need to ask! Jerk!”
