Linsey genuinely cares about me, and I'm content to let her be in charge." He then teased Dustin. "That's more than I can say for you. Have you even found a woman who can keep you in line? You've flitted from one relationship to another and still haven't found someone to settle down with." Dustin's expression tightened at the pointed remark.

Avoid making such jokes in the future, or you might regret it." Dustin was taken aback, not expecting his casual remark to strike such a nerve.
In retrospect, Dustin acknowledged his rash behavior.
