Of course, saying that I lost my savings isn't quite the real story, but I'm not ready to think about that right now. I sure as heck didn't misplace them, at least not without help.
“I'm glad it's working out for you.” For the first time ever, I detect a hint of jealousy in Bella’s words, and I'm stunned. She's jealous that I managed to make it work with Blake and Azura?
I guess the job does pay really, really well and maybe she's looking for a way out right now because I know she's going through the ringer with James. The man really does bring her to her knees and puts her in her worst mental well-being headspace.
“Anyway, I should probably let you go. Azura is going to wake up soon. Love you! Bye.”
She responds in kind, but with much less warmth and excitement and my heart sink
