Disbelief
Taylor almost dropped everything when she spotted Kathy inserting herself into conversations. She stared in disbelief – how dare this woman just force herself into their get-together? Taylor was concerned this would become a regular occurrence.
Jason tried to prevent any conflict, but he could see the anger on Taylor’s face as she started in Kathy’s direction, so grabbed her before she got far.
He didn’t want a fight to break out or his wife to become distressed.
