The next day at Bray is strange for many reasons. Oliver doesn’t emerge, despite having promised Joey he’d clean the stalls (once a month, Joey gets a day off). I have a feeling he doesn’t want to deal with me. Zoe comes and tries to have a heart-to-heart with me again; I religiously avoid her. Kate nags me until I fill her in on the entire Olive Garden debacle. Cyan tells me that if her mom comes home crying because of me one more time, she’ll hit me in the face (to which I reply, “I’d like to see you try.”). Then Val comes, Christina-less, and screams at me for ten minutes straight about how I’m a b***h for telling her mother “all those lies” about Mitch, and that I should just go to hell, where I belong.
Joey comes out at that, probably upon hearing female screaming, and breaks it up.
