Eternity sat in her dining chair in complete silence, trying to process what she had just heard. As J's words sank in, the implications became clear.
"So… Jakob is the ex of your ex?" she asked slowly.
J gave her a disappointed look.
"What's up with your reaction?" he pouted. "I expected you to be angry with me! Instead, you gave me this anti-climactic reaction."
"No, it's just…" Eternity paused, unsure of how to phrase her thoughts without further aggravating J.
"'It's just' what?" he demanded.
Seeing that he was already angry regardless of her reply, she decided to speak her mind.
"I still don't see how Jakob did anything to you to warrant your anger," she said honestly. "In fact, shouldn't you be angry at Esteban for calling Jakob's name instead of yours?"
Eternity realized, belatedly, that she had spoken too bluntly. J's face became twisted with offense.
