“Hi Jay,” she said as she passed him.
“Oh, hello Angela,” he said. “How was your weekend?”
“Oh, pretty hectic. We had a house guest that turned out to be a real asshole and Eric had to throw him out.”
“Ouch! I hope everything’s OK now.”
“Yeah, it is. Jennifer helped to put things back in order.”
“Jennifer, huh? Isn’t she the one who was raped by her father? The one you told me about?”
“Yes. She is such a darling! I love her!”
“Well, you should get some credit, too. You opened your house to her after that rape.”
“Yeah, well, we couldn’t just leave her out in the cold, you know.”
“All the same, I think you are special for helping her.”
Angela looked at Jason. He had never been this talkative with her before, and that made her wonder.
“Uh, Jason?” she said.
“Yes?”
