"No. I know you needed a reason to get away from Noah." 

Jess's eyes turned misty, hearing what Luke said. Her lower lip trembled and her chin shook, trying to keep herself from bawling her eyes out.  When they reached the intersection, she glanced over her shoulder and saw Luke snickering in the passenger seat, trying to contain his laughter. 

"Y-You!!" 

"What? Have you seen Noah's expression instead of just focusing on your green monster?" 

"What do you mean?" She snapped at him, ready to start a fight. She was still pissed off and didn't want to talk about Noah and that girl who was smiling at her like she knew something about Noah that she didn't know. 

"Tiefenbacher looked like he was ready to serve his steel balls on a platter for you." 

"He lied, Luke. He lied to me."
