I continued lifting my weights as I counted my reps.

Four. Five. Six...

“Not interested?” He pressed as I glanced at him in the mirror.

“Who? Tell me!” she demanded, and I glowered at Dad.

“This douche thinks I’m in love with Jade,” I scoffed as he made kissing noises. “You’re such a fucking child.”

“Says you.”

“Caleb!”
