Chapter 18

"He just stood there and watched you get dressed? Without so much as a word? No apology?"

I shrugged. He had sort of just stood awestruck, but I'd gotten dressed faster than he could have realized what was going on, and tore out of his house like a bat out of hell. I hadn't bothered to call Veronica when I screeched out of Collier's driveway. I sent her a text and told her I would be at her house in minutes and to prepare Trish. I hadn't had time to think about what I was doing. I just knew my head was all kinds of fucked up, and I needed my best friend.

Ronnie asked the questions, and Trish poured the wine. And something in that visit changed between my best friend's girlfriend and me, but I hadn't pinpointed it just yet because I was still too mortified to face reality.

"Your life is like a soap opera." There was humor in Trish's statement but not condemnation. She handed me a glass before joining us on the couch.
