When Least Expected (2015)
“Solving high school students’ problems seemed like an easier task when faced with dealing with her own.
Roslyn, the other guidance counselor, came into Lexi’s office when she was done for the day.
“You want to go get a drink? My sister needs some girl time. You look like you could use some, too. Nichole said she would meet us there when she gets done with her shift at the clinic.” Roslyn was always in a good mood lately. She was getting married next summer, to Lexi’s divorce attorney. One perso...n’s divorce had been another person’s engagement. Alexis was a bit envious of her friend’s excitement, but she tried hard to be happy for her. Or at least act the part. Nichole was engaged, too, though she had been for years, with no plans to move that along in sight.
“Sure,” Lexi said, though helping Riley through a painful divorce or hearing about wedding plans didn’t seem like gobs of fun. At least there would be alcohol, and everyone would be so focused on cheering up Riley that they wouldn’t notice it had never worked when they tried it on Lexi six months earlier.MoreLess
