High Stakes
“She and Lena had been like sisters since the wayward girl came to live with them as a teen.
If anybody could talk some sense into her, Lena could.
“Hello?”
Her voice was groggy with sleep, and Alisa felt guilty for waking her, but this couldn’t wait. “Is James there?” Lena’s fiancé spent more time at her apartment than his own these days, so it was a reasonable guess.
“No, he had some things to take care of at his place. What’s goin’ on?”
“Um, I met someone, and I could use your advice.” She ne...eded someone to tell her she couldn’t possibly be feeling what she thought she was.

“Shut. Up.”
Alisa couldn’t help but laugh. Her friend had always had a flair for dramatics.MoreLess
