Mortified

As Katie speaks, Jason suddenly gets an awful feeling in the pit of his stomach. It couldn't be. Listening, he slowly stands up from his bag and turns around, his eyes getting wider. Oh, no. A whispered curse at himself slips out under his breath.
He dumbly takes the picture from Katie, then looks back at her, so overcome with embarrassment that he can't even think of anything intelligent to say, let alone know how to react. She'd been there...she and Wyatt had been there...they'd seen the whole thing...Katie had heard his songs.
Though never before allowing anyone to see him in this state, Jason is too overcome to help it, and his face changes at least five shades of red. He's completely mortified. No one he knew was supposed to be there, least of all Katie. Embarrassed beyond speech, he hands the picture back to her and swallows hard. He sinks into a chair to lean back and cover his face with his hands. "Oh, woe..."
