[IRAYA]
Just as I suspected, Jason called me not a moment too soon after I left the bar.
My phone buzzed incessantly, his name flashing across the screen like some unwelcome beacon. I didn't answer at first, letting it ring a couple of times before finally picking up, not because I cared about what he had to say, but because I wanted to hear how far he'd go.
"Hello?" I answered, my tone deliberately bored, as if I had far more important things to do.
"Iraya," Jason's voice came through, smooth yet tainted with frustration. He always had that ability to sound like he was in control, even when he wasn't. "Are you done with your little scene back there?"
I scoffed as I drove back to my apartment. "Scene? I don't recall creating any scene, Jason. I simply ended things."
