Are you okay?” “I’ll live. I’ve been rage eating the past few days. That always helps.” I told her the short version of Liam’s heartlessness last night. Being a good friend, she was righteously angry on my behalf. I feel a little guilty that I can’t muster enough outrage to return the favor about Tyler’s mistreatment at the moment, but judging by my mood swings over the past several hours, later on I’ll break a mirror or throw a vase off the balcony, and we can be outraged together. Ellie grabs something out of the freezer and comes to sit cross-legged next to me
