I tug my arm out of his grasp and turn to shoot him a glare. “No, I don’t think we do. We said what we had to say and now there’s nothing left to convince me otherwise that what you said earlier is bullshit.”

Tyler’s eyes widen slightly, perhaps not expecting me to say something like this so void of emotion.

But I refuse to make him think that he affected me even though it was clear he did.

One wanted me to fawn over his words while the other told me to take precautions before deciding anything else.
