Brought in some female energy following the Tomas flashback and the Tomarcus two-hander. Of course, the guys are part of the conversation.
Today's sample:
Amelia put down her cup; her eyes narrowed. “What’s this about?”
Rose shrugged, not looking at the person sitting next to her as she popped a piece of cinnamon chip muffin into her mouth. Eventually, her eyes met Amelia’s and she exhaled. “I feel guilty, okay? Like I’m the reason for your bust up with Marcus. Ugh. I hate that feel this way. It’s so stupid.”
“Hey!” Amelia took her hand. “That had nothing to do with you and everything to do with the path he’s currently on. You were collateral damage though. I’m sorry about that. Don’t hate how you feel. Whatever you’re feeling is valid.” She considered her friend. “Are we okay?”
Rose was surprised. “We’re fine. How are you doing, by the way? I hate to bring it up, but since I’m your only friend now I feel it’s my duty.” She had a rueful grin on her lips.
“Bitch.” Amelia was wearing a similar grin. “I’m mourning, to be honest. I haven’t given up on him completely. I’m so angry at him right now yet I can’t stop fighting for him. Bennett feels the same. He’s lost himself.”
“That man does not deserve you,” Rose said with a shake of her head. “He hasn’t lost himself, he’s just crawled so far up Tomas’ ass he can’t be bothered. I hate to say it, but I think you need to hear it.”
Amelia tore off a piece of her banana nut muffin and chewed on it longer than was necessary.
