“You didn’t have the right! The f*****g rules say—”
“He had permission,” Echo says, stepping between them. He reaches out and gently steers me to the side. “I gave him clearance to teach her. She was never alone, someone was always there watching.”
“I don’t give a damn who was watching. I trust her not to f**k him, that’s not the problem. She’s only had the cast off three goddamn weeks!”
I reach toward Giggles to check on him, but Knox grabs my wrist and pulls me back with him. My eyes flash.
“Apologize. Right now, Knox,” I snap.
“No. I won’t. That was reckless!”
My temper snaps clean in half.
“Callum James Smith, you apologize to Giggles right f*****g now!”
He freezes like I slapped him. “Did you just… did you just full-name me?”
“Yes, you big jerk! Now say sorry.”
His jaw tics.
