“You think I did?”
“How do you feel about that?”
“Pissed off. I always thought that if Nathan wanted a woman, it would be me.”
“Same.” She sighs. “I actually don’t know if I believe it.”
“Oh, come on April.” I throw my hand up in the air. “Why would he lie about that?”
“I don’t know. Why do men do anything they do?”
“Right?” I agree.
“Anyway, poof to him. If Nathan wants Sonya then he can have her.”
“It’s Stephanie.”
“Whatever her fucking name is.” She huffs. “We don’t like her, regardless.”
I love April. She always knows just what to say. “I guess I’m just feeling territorial.”
“I would be, too. I’d be fuming mad.”
“Hey.” I frown as I remember what I wanted to ask her. “Are you okay for money? Do you want me to transfer you some? Because I can. I’ve been saving really hard.”
“Don’t you dare.”
“April, I don’t want you struggling over there alone.”
“I’m not struggling. I’m budgeting hard.”
“Isn’t that the same shit?”
She laughs. “Probably.”
“Why don’t you call Roy and demand for all your money that the bastard took? You own half that fucking house, you know. It was your money used for the deposit.”
“I don’t want his slutty money. I want nothing to do with him ever again.”
I exhale heavily. “Why are you so stubborn?”
“Because I’m not giving him the satisfaction of asking that prick for anything, least of all money.” Just the mention of Roy’s name sends her raging mad.
“Okay, okay. Well, you can ask me for money.”
“You’re going to need your money too, soon, now that you don’t have Nathan to spoil you.”
“God, don’t remind me.” I hang on the line. “Do you think they’ve slept together?”
“I don’t know. Did you ask him?”
“No.”
“Would he tell you if they had?”
“I don’t know.”
“See, that’s weird, don’t you think? If he didn’t have feelings for you, wouldn’t he just tell you? Why would he hide other people?”
