Joe was fine with not talking to Aislin. When he didn't have to talk to her he didn't have to think about how much she'd hurt him. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath when he heard her come into his room, hoping she'd disappear if he pretended she wasn't there.
"I already told you that I didn't have anything to say." Joe told her. "If I'd had anything to say to you I would have said it already. Now go away. I'm studying."
