It wasn’t anything she couldn’t talk about on her side, so Sarah told her about going on a cruise with Elisa.

Cole listened and said, “If you guys are planning on going on a cruise this weekend, Abby’s interested too, mind taking the two of us?”

Sarah froze, reacted, and said, “I’ll talk to my sister first and ask her opinion.”
