Alice Alone
Alice Alone
“It was Jill.
“Alice, are you okay?” she asked. I guess this meant we were friends again.
“I suppose everyone’s heard by now,” I said in answer.

“How can you defend him like that?”
“Well, he can’t help liking somebody.”
“Of course, Penny’s mostly to blame,” said Jill. I didn’t want to get into this, because I knew she was goading me into saying something against Penny, and everything I said would get right back to her. “Maybe nobody’s to blame,” I said, my voice flat. “That’s just the way it is. She likes him, he likes her.”
“Oh, stop being so noble,” Jill said.
