Nivritti could not understand his sudden change in expression and his tonal shift. "Her whole family came to visit me to thank me. They brought lots of food. My fridge is overflowing with food. And then Jae slept in my house last night," she elaborated.
Now his jealousy turned into his sorrow. "Ohh, did her brother too…" he could not finish his sentence.
"What? No," she shouted at him. How could he even think just a bizarre thing? She was slightly angry at him. But she controlled her anger and replied, "he went back home. Jae drank too much, and she was in condition to go home, so she stayed."
"Ohh, you guys drank?" after hearing that the brother didn't stay, he was relieved.
"No, no, not you guys, only Jae. I don't drink," corrected Nivritti.
"Really?" he looked at her funny.
"Hey! That was the only time I drank," she knew what he was pointing out. The night she went and drank and ended up in a stranger's bed.
