“With HER?”

He seemed to find it laughable, scrolling up to show all his previous insulting messages to Jenna:]
“You know how much I can’t stand her, right? I
Can barely bring myself to insult her…”
“Besides, even if I were cheating, I wouldn’t go for someone young and hot instead of… that? What am I, brain–dead, Sophia? Or are you the one who’s lost it?“[]
I calmed down:]
“None of that explains-“]

I stared into Declan’s eyes:]
“Or if you already have“]
