Hearing Jean’s inner monologue, Easton nearly laughed himself breathless.

When he finally calmed down, Easton sighed thoughtfully. “Jean, you really are adorable.”

So adorable that he had the sudden urge to break her.

What exactly did you want by calling me here?” Jean asked bluntly, already feeling restless.

She was ready to take back everything she’d thought earlier.

I’d rather be stuck with Lacey and those lunatics backstage than hang around a psycho like Easton!

Easton’s lips curled up slightly. “What, leaving already? I just wanted to catch up with my little sister. After all, it’s been ages since I last came home.”

“Well, Jean, pointed impatiently at the clock on the wall, “are we done catching up yet?”

Jean didn’t reply out loud, but thought to herself. Of course I am. Who wants to spend time with a weirdo like you!

“Make sure you apply that properly on your face. Easton lowered his eyes slightly, an ambiguous smile tugging at his lips. “You look pretty pathetic right now.”

Pathetic enough to annoy him.

Easton didn’t want those red scratches staying on Jean’s face any longer.
