Shirley promptly yanked the blanket away and said with a pout, “I'm serious! Jason’s a good man. You can’t

But Corynn couldn’t get over the fact that she had no romantic feelings for him, especially since she had recently

Corynn couldn't let herself entertain such foolish thoughts.
So, she turned over in bed and squeezed her eyes shut, hoping to catch up on sleep.

“I know...” Elliot said softly, sitting down beside her. “Corynn, | want to go back to the way things were before.
Can we be a couple again?” Elliot looked at Corynn with hopeful eyes.
Corynn stiffened, then slowly turned to face him, her gaze icy, a mocking smile playing at her lips. “No.”
