‘He didn’t even say hi to me,’ I mumbled. ‘I’m getting the feeling he’s pissed at me.’ ‘He’s definitely not mad at you, Shelly. He just looks kind of sad.’ Sad? What right did he have to be sad about all this? I turned away from Lee; I wasn’t going to get into that. I didn’t want to feel sorry for Noah. Especially not today, when he least deserved it.
