Challenge

Carson’s jaw muscles tighten and relax in turn as he receives Misty’s words without a flinch. “Sometimes little sheilas just don’t know when to shut up, do they?” As she goes to the door, he shakes his head. “You just better hope your friends make the right decision, Sassy. Or this whole thing will turn out much differently than they want it to.”

Jason looks up as the door opens. That was fast. “What happened?”

Hearing Carson’s request, Jason’s blood boils all over again. “What on earth is he doing?! He can’t be serious. If he even thinks for a moment that we’d ever let him within a foot of Jamie, he’s more stupid than I thought. There’s no way we’re going to put Jamie through that. Not only would Reese have a cow, but Con would probably kill more than one person around here.” He looks to Nate again, angrily. “But I guess I don’t have much say in this do I?”
