“You’re playing with fire.”
MARISA
When
Wednesday night arrives, I make my way to the park. If Nick hoped I was going
to back out, he was wrong. When I get there, I see he’s come with Vicky, and I
feel my heart sink. I don’t like the reaction, so I decide to ignore it. That
he’s coming here with Vicky should be the least of my worries.
“We
planned to have dinner together, so I thought it would be easier to leave
directly from here,” she says.
“What
a great idea,” I say with an insincere smile.
To
my surprise, I see Marisa heading toward us.
“I
couldn’t let the rematch take place without me,” she says. She turns to Nick,
who gives her a bewildered look.
“Don’t
take it the wrong way, but feminine solidarity requires I support Lexi.
Besides, you already have a supporter.”
