“You got so you want to say to lass in the dustpan and came to stand in front of the woman who’d been a thorn in her side for the past twenty-four hours She spread her arms out “Now’s the time, the kids are asleep, De to your incoherent ra in your craw or take your drunk ass to bed I hope you had fun on your binge, because it’s the last one you’ll behaving In case you forgot, we’re on high alert That means we need to ready tothat when you’re wasted?

Gia hiccupped Her eyes grew glossy and she sniffed “I’m sorry I—I don’t kno to be friends with other females My life…Where I came from it was all a competition You couldn’t trust another female or you’d find yourself stabbed in the back”

“Where the hell did you co her eyes to study the beauty with a slight accent

“You’d do that after I was such a huge bitch to you?” Gia whispered
