“Is that why you won’t tell me you love me? Because you love her?”
He rubbed his face, turmoil radiating off of him.

Jax stood with his hands in the air in a surrendering gesture.
“You need to calm down.”
“Calm down? I can’t believe you’re telling me to calm down again! There”—I grabbed the first thing I could, a vase, and chucked it at his head—“how’s that for calm!”
