"Why are you getting all worked up?" Jones asked me quietly once I stopped ranting. "Is it because it reminds you of your thing with Damon?"
He was intentionally asking me something he already knew. He knew all about me and Damon.
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down and separate Jones in front of me from Damon in my memory. "Maybe I'm relating a bit too much to my own story, but Scarlett has been really good to you. She hasn't done anything wrong."
Jones just smirked and said, "The person who convinced me to break free was her. If it wasn't for her help, my parents wouldn't have thought about doing it. They were afraid I would hate them."
He had been under house arrest for a while, and Scarlett had approached me, asking me to break up with him in exchange for some documents.
I couldn't believe this was Scarlett's idea.
