Betrayal
“I click to turn his phone on but I'm prompted for a password. The only message unblocked is the current one. Damn.
Taking a deep breath to steady my pounding heart, I force away the negative thoughts. I don't know anything. I shouldn't have looked at the message in the first place. I have to trust that Chase will tell me if Denise is up to any funny business. Then again, I've only known Chase for less than a week and who knows how long she's known him. Can I really trust him at all? ... He's a poker player. He makes his money bluffing, which is really just another word for lying. He makes money by keeping his emotions in check and his thoughts to himself. Can you ever really know someone like that? I suddenly miss Evelyn. My best friend always had my back, and I feel shitty again for ignoring her all week.
"You ready?" Chase's voice startles me and I jump. "Shit, sorry. You okay?" "Yeah," I nod and then work up a smile. "Just thinking about a friend back home." Technically true.MoreLess
