“You can just refund my tickets like that? Did you even ask me?”
“My situation was urgent!”
Emily’s tone grew sharper.
“Jason didn’t do well on his exam this time, and he’s really upset. The business-class seat you booked is quieter and more comfortable, perfect for him to relax during the trip.”
“Besides, why didn’t you book an extra ticket when you got it? Why make such a big fuss now?”
I almost laughed at her reasoning.
“Emily, I stayed up three whole nights, staring at the screen without blinking, my fingers nearly breaking, just to get those two tickets.”
“I thought this was our first time going home together, that we wanted to leave some good memories, and now you refunded my tickets to someone else without even asking?”
“What do you mean?”
Emily’s voice rose. “Liam, you’ve become so cold-blooded and petty.”
“Jason is your friend, too! It’s tough for him to study away from home. Shouldn’t we take better care of him? Why are you so obsessed with this ticket?”
“Tough for him?”
I repeated softly, my chest freezing.
“It’s tough for him, but easy for me? You’re making me stand for seven or eight hours, and you don’t even consider me?”
