Selena waved casually. "See you." Callum nodded slightly at Selena and turned to leave.

He growled in her ear, "Selena, make sure you know who your man is. Are you really turning your back on me?" Selena, equally fired up, shoved him away forcefully. "And what if I am? I just can't stand your attitude!" Her unapologetic and bold response made Everett's hands shake with anger. "What attitude?" Was he still playing the innocent card?

Unaware of his mood, Selena continued, "Stop being so petty. You and Margot are already all lovey-dovey, so let Dr. Campbell be, and quit poking at people's sore spots. You're being really low class!" QUMS And hurtful, too.
She left those last words unsaid, so as not to shred her last shred of dignity.
