The Secret Life of Ceecee Wilkes
“Eve waited until Jack left the house before calling the Counseling Service to say she was sick and wouldn’t be coming in. She would be useless at work today. She had to know what Tim was going to say.
She sat on the sofa, rubbing her aching wrists while he was sworn in. He took his oath in a soft, serious voice, then sat down.
