Rachel took a deep breath, forcing herself to stay composed as she quickly turned her head away.
"Rachel, say something!" Jeffrey's voice trembled with anxiety as he clutched her sleeve.
"Brian and I did have a small disagreement, and yes, we've been contemplating a breakup. But it hasn't happened yet, so don't stress yourself over it." His eyes reddened, his voice cracking. "Are you sure? You're not just saying that to makefeel better, are you?" Rachel softened, a gentle smile curving her lips as she reached out to ruffle his hair. "When have I ever lied to you, huh? And listen—if Brian and I ever do break up one day, it'll be because of our own issues, not because of you. So don't blyourself."
