Tessa unlocked the door and stepped inside, Mik nestled in her arms, purring happily. Once she closed the door behind her, she set the cat down and yawned.
"Hey, guys," she said. "I'll be right back. I need to wash her paws, then… mine."
"Don't be late!" Jasmine called back.
The food was good, the apartment was warm, and the snow outside made the whole morning feel quieter than usual. I took another bite and leaned back slightly, enjoying the scene.
"So," Jasmine suddenly said, "did I ever tell you guys about Victor Hale's phone?"
Nala looked up from her food. "What about it?"
"I saw his wallpaper yesterday."
"And?"
Jasmine grinned. "It wasn't his fiancée."
Kayla immediately looked interested. "Wait, what?"
"Exactly."
Eleanor laughed. "You saw some random woman on his phone?"
"Not just some random woman. She was definitely not his fiancée."
"Maybe it was his sister," Kim suggested.
"Nope."
"Friend?"
"Nope."
"Cousin?"
"Nope."
