"Different?" Karen asked, forcing a small laugh. "I just woke up, that's all."
Chelsea grinned. "Yeah, right. You look like you had the best sleep of your life."
Karen's cheeks flushed lightly. If only they knew.
She opened her mouth to reply but stopped herself, uncertain what to say.
"Something like that," she said instead, brushing her hair back behind her ear.
"Wait a minute," Chelsea suddenly said, leaning forward with a mischievous grin.
"Did Marco visit you last night? Did you two have fun together? Come on, sis, tell me!"
Karen nearly choked on her drink.
"W-what are you even talking about?" she said, setting her glass down a little too quickly.
"Oh, don't play innocent!" Chelsea pressed on, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
"You two have been together for years, haven't you? Don't tell me nothing happened. Spill it already!"
"You and your wild imagination," Karen sighed, trying to sound calm but failing to hide the faint nervousness in her voice.
