“You’re back?” Marianne heard a voice behind her.
She turned around to see her best friend walking by.
“Evelyn,” The brunette smiled. “How are you? Aren’t you cold?” She remarked when she touched the blonde’s icy arm.
“A bit, I decided to walk home from work and I managed to lose my purse and cardigan on the way. I’ve been retracing my steps the whole afternoon but I haven’t found it yet.”
“Oh, no.” Marianne felt sorry for her friend. “I wish I had my jacket with me.”
“That’s okay. I am about to give up anyways. I need to pee.” Marianne laughed.
“How is Evie?” Marianne asked as they walked to her car to go home.
“She’s fine, loud as always.” Evelyn laughed. “Why didn’t you tell me you’re back?”
“I only just arrived, I’ve been wondering where I should stay.”
“Really?” Evelyn rolled her eyes. “You are seriously telling me I was not your first thought?”
“Evelyn, I haven’t been quite honest with you.” Marianne sighed. “I didn’t go back home.”
“Where did you go?”
“I stayed in the city with a friend.” Marianne was apparently nervous. “I met Joshua.”
They stopped and before Evelyn could respond she felt herself overcome with nausea. She waved at Marianne and ducked in behind a bush.
