Chapter 54: Roxy

Jason didn’t look pissed when he walked into the room. Annoyed, sure, but not disappointed or disgusted the way I’d hoped. I’m still not sure what happened to my grand plan, but from the way the little girls were whispering to each other while looking in my direction, I got the sneaking suspicion that they had something to do with it failing, especially Catalina. As soon as the women saw Jason, they grinned and made their excuses to leave, leaving us alone as they dragged the girls off with them. He didn’t say anything for the longest while, and me, the girl who’d long given up caring what anyone thought, found myself squirming under his knowing gaze.
