(Winona)

I'm lying on Lisa's couch, scrolling through my phone, when Lisa bursts through the door.

"Oh. Look who's not at work," Lisa says, kicking off her heels and tossing her bag onto the chair. "What gives? You could have come to lunch with the girls."

I glance up, raising an eyebrow, "Took the week off. Figured I deserved a break before the wedding"

"Is that the only reason? She stares at me, smirking like she's onto something. "You avoiding anyone in particular, maybe?"

I sit up and stretch. "Nope. Just thought it'd be nice to have a week to focus on the wedding, not stress about work and free myself up to be with the kids."

Lisa drops down on the floor in front of me, crossing her legs. "Mmm-hmm. You sure? Because Lance called me earlier, and guess what he said."

I sigh, the in-house gossip is as strong as ever. "What?"

"He said Phillip mentioned seeing you at the club Sunday night," she says. "Was he? Phillip wasn't there when I was there."

I keep my face neutral. "Yeah, I saw him after you left."

I can practically see the wheels turning in her head. "Uh-huh. And you didn't think to mention this... why? Something you're not telling me?"
