Why did she choose to insist on this silly game? Again he froze and was forced to hear her out—her voice had a subtle command in it like that, one he had found himself ever incapable of escaping. Jefferson flicked his tattered ears at her, no pity in his face whatsoever. There was no need for this foolishness, this childplay of revenge and jealousy. She claimed to call for him, as if that had really happened—if she had, judging by the boy's age, Jefferson had been gone from the territory. He had known his children would have been born then. He had disappeared on purpose, and any calls from him purposely went unanswered.
Still the brute wasn't convinced, and still he was silent as she muttered on in her vicious play. You are ridiculous. He agreed, silent. Utterly ridiculous. He was so bold as to nod, though the brute was wholly unconscious of it. And finally she challenged him—who else could he belong to? That was the game, wasn't it? That was for Jefferson to figure out, to erupt into a jealous rampage to find out who his once-lover had slept around with, or from what parents she had "borrowed" that child for her foolish need to get back at him. She softened with her last words, as if speaking from her heart, but the stony man was unmoved. His walls stiff, his expression grim, he finally bothered to answer her challenge.
"I don't know whose he is," he hissed. "Jordan's?"
