Jared glanced at Jenny nervously. After he was sure she had not heard what I said, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he turned to reprimand me. “Jenny’s very affected by what happened. Why do you have to bring it up? Do you want her to feel worse?
“Call a taxi to take you home. We wasted a lot of time looking for you, and Jenny and I still have a celebration to attend.”
With that, Jared left quickly, forgetting that I did not have even a single cent on me.
It took another hour of walking before I got home, and my feet were starting to cramp.
Before I opened the door, I heard someone talking on the other side.
