Brent was cut off mid-sentence.

Kallie sprang from her seat so abruptly that all eyes turned toward her.

Jake had anticipated her reaction. His smile widened, but his eyes hardened.

It was jarring for Jake. Kallie’s eyes, which once radiated warmth, now glinted with coldness.

Jake reminisced about how Kallie had once been so tender and tolerant. No matter how poorly he treated her, she would respond with a soft, helpless smile and accept it. Perhaps occasionally a bitter smile crossed her lips, but she had never given him such a cold look before.

Jake had always been frustrated by Kallie’s gentle nature, wishing she would toughen up so he wouldn’t have to worry about her as much. She had clearly toughened up, but now all her sharp edges seemed aimed directly at him.

Jake wondered whether her fear was rooted in him or stemmed from deeper anxieties.

Currently, Kallie’s mind seemed preoccupied with thoughts of Brent, leaving Jake in search of clarity.
