Emily remained quiet.
Then Callan asked, "Let me ask you something."
She looked at him with suspicion. "What now?"
"If the situation were reversed and Jamal was the one who spent hours talking to a random woman in an enclosed space, and Dawn was upset, would you say Jamal was unfaithful?"
Emily hesitated.
Callan stared at her as she struggled to respond, then a slow grin spread across his face.
She lifted her chin. "Yes, I'll say he cheated," Emily answered, but her voice was low.
Callan chuckled.
Emily narrowed her eyes. "What?"
Callan said nothing but continued to look at her with an annoying grin.
"Why are you grinning?"
Callan chuckled again. "You know why. We both know if the situation was reversed you'd defend Jamal because you trust him."
She pulled her hand away and turned to face the other side of the bed. "Fine! Maybe I judged Dawn too harshly."
Callan's grin widened. "Maybe?"
Emily grabbed the pillow beside her and hit his arm with it.
He burst out laughing.
