"…All right, then. Suit yourself," he says.
You watch Caleb leave to rejoin Ashley. He says something to her, and she finally looks at you. She seems disappointed. She looks a lot better than she did the last time you saw her, but she still has dark circles under her eyes. You see her look at Diego for a full three seconds, and her lips twitch into what could almost be a smile. You turn to Diego just in time to see him give a meek wave back before she gets into the car and shuts the door.
"What was that about?" you ask him.
He shrugs. "We had a good talk after you left. We were both in pretty dark places."
"Are you…"
"No! No. I mean…it would be a bad idea."
In all honesty, he's probably right. Diego and Ashley would make a better couple than Rex and Ashley ever did, though.
