“We already did,” Noah said.
“Come on.” Piper grabs Charlotte’s and my hands.
We give hugs and say our goodbyes, and Piper and Charlotte march right past the guys, shaking their heads and giving all three of them a death glare.
We’re only ten feet outside the building when they spin and face Jamison.
“You’re married?” Charlotte seethes.
“You’re such a piece of shit,” Piper snarls.
Jamison glances at me, hurt. I blink back tears.
“Don’t you dare look at her like that!” Piper snaps.
“Piper—” Noah starts.

“Quinn isn’t someone’s mistress,” Piper yells.
“She isn’t someone to use for sex, and that’s it,” Charlotte informs him.
Jamison’s face reddens. “Yeah, I know Quinn isn’t either of those.”
“Quinn is someone you love, not someone you hide,” Piper tells him.
“She’s not just any girl. She’s special,” Charlotte cries out.
“Don’t you think I know all this? I love her, for god’s sake,” Jamison protests.
“Oh, that’s brilliant. You love her, and you’re married.” Piper glares.
“Piper!” Noah yells.
“Don’t you dare, Noah!”
“You don’t know—”
