CH 228: What Does Jarrett Do?

"You've been laid off?"

Jarrett sighed dejectedly. Their promises echoed in his head. The future he hoped for was starting to change with this setback. To distract himself, he played with Andie's hair. His fingers picked up a few strands and twisted them.

He couldn't look into her eyes.

Andie seemed to have other ideas. She pushed his hands away and forced him to meet her gaze. It wasn't easy. Her fiancé twisted his head from left to right, evading her hands. 

This lasted for a few seconds. 

"Why?" The question spilled out of her mouth, her hands resting on his shoulders instead.

"I don't know." Jarrett shook his head. Everything happened quickly. He had been kicked out of the building as soon as he gathered his things. They neither gave him the time to process nor the chance to fight back.
