Laura
"I was about to give you a call," I said to Paula, through the phone.
"Laura," she called out, faintly.
"Yes," I said, with a smile.
She kept mute for a few seconds, then spoke up. "There's something I have to tell you."
My smile widened. "Me, too."
"What?" she inquired, quickly. "You can go first."
"Okay," I said, taking a deep breathe. "I thought it through. I'm ready to reconcile with Lorenzo. I'm ready to forgive him for everything."
The silence that followed was awkward.
"Paula, did you hear me?" I asked, curiously.
She cleared her throat. I could hear her sob. Was she really sobbing?
I was getting worried. "Paula, are you okay?"
"Lorenzo is back with Victoria. I'm sorry about this…"
I froze, the phone trembling slightly in my hand. "What did you just say?" I whispered, my heart thudding in my chest.
