Lexie's heart sank as Isiah's voice turned icy, making her realize her mistake. She knew deep down that her problem went beyond mere jealousy; she longed for a genuine connection with Isiah, but her actions were only pushing him further away.
She closed her eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath before speaking.
"Isiah... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you," she said, her voice trembling slightly.
She knew that she had to be careful with her words, or else she would risk ruining everything she had with Isiah.
For a moment, Lexie just stood there, lost in thought. She realized that she needed to give Isiah some space to cool down, to let him process everything that had just happened.
Slowly, she moved out of his way, watching as he left the kitchen without another word.
As she stood there alone, Lexie couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness wash over her.
