Explanation

Wyatt raises an eyebrow at Katie’s question. What had Jason told her? Was that what this was all about? But how?

He hesitates, but sticks to his promise of no secrets. “I told him to back off,” he states calmly. “I saw you two this morning and decided it was time I talked to him about it. I’d already given him several chances to tell me he wanted to pursue you himself, and he always denied he wanted to be anything more than friends with you, so I called him on it. We argued, and we parted. I left him with the warning to back off.”
