Seeing the tension between the three of them, Jack took the initiative to break the silence, his voice casual but sharp enough to slice through the air.
"I'm Jack," he said, extending a hand toward Jennette. His tone was light, but his eyes never left Sam.
Jennette hesitated, then shifted the grocery bag to one arm and shook Jack's hand. "Jennette. I'm Sam's wife."
Jack's lips curled into a smirk. His eyebrows lifted with deliberate exaggeration. "Ohhhh? I didn't know Sam had a wife."
Selena felt her breath hitch. She looked at Jack, silently pleading for him to behave, but he wasn't paying her any attention. His gaze remained locked on Sam, a quiet challenge simmering beneath the surface of his smile.
Jennette blinked, confused by the sudden tension. She turned to Selena. "Uhm, he…?" Her question trailed off, hanging awkwardly in the room.
