Greengrass was stumbling, and he might have felt empowered had he not felt so utterly frustrated. What did he mean by you're clearly not hung up on it? Was he insinuating that he was hung up on it? Or was he trying to accuse him of moving on too fast? Either insinuation was a preposterous one, really, and he found it increasingly difficult to keep his expression under control.

"If it had been up to me you wouldn't be like this in the first place," he said in a low, harsh voice, feeling his own cheeks flush with anger. "Why break things off when you can't handle..." He trailed off, not really wanting to go into the details of his flirtations in front of Greengrass. He wasn't that cruel. "You make no sense."
