Asher was standing in front of her, gripping onto Tony's wrist, preventing him from striking Sadie in any way. She couldn't see the expression on his face, but it was easy for Sadie to recognize that Asher's body was tense and prepared, as though he was ready to start fighting Tony if need be. What Sadie could see was the expression on Tony's face. His brow was pushed down, nearly overlapping his beige eyes, and his lips were pulled tightly into a scowl. No doubt he was surprised to find Asher at Ernie's after hearing a rumor about him doing his ex in a supply closet during detention. And even more so, to see Asher here right now, in front of Sadie, defending her. It just instilled in Tony that the rumors about Sadie and Asher were true, and that definitely did not sit right with him. Bros before hos, right? At least that's what he thought. "Well, well, well, Asher," Tony said, and though he had hoped the tone seemed calm and conversational, it was strained and slightly dark.
