Benjamin was taken aback by her sharp retort. For a fleeting moment, he felt a pang of guilt.
It was true. His grandfather had just been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and they had been dancing in the living room. It was wrong.
But in his mind, Rebekah deliberately fainting at the door to win his grandfather's sympathy and get Candice in trouble was far worse.
His face hardened. "Don't try to turn this around on me, Rebekah. Apologize to Candice!"
Rebekah's head was throbbing, and she felt too dizzy to argue. "Think whatever you want. I'm not apologizing. Now get out."
Benjamin's expression darkened instantly. He was about to step forward and force the issue when Candice pulled him back.
"Let it go, Benjamin," she said softly. "My sister just misunderstands our relationship. She's just jealous. I can handle a little unfairness. Don't let me come between you two." She paused. "My mom just texted me. I should get going."
Benjamin shot one last glare at Rebekah before turning to Candice, his expression shifting in an instant to one of gentle concern. "You're too kind. Your sister… she hasn't been right in the head lately. Don't pay her any mind. I'll walk you out."
"Okay."
