Calvert got up to answer the door, while Vespera remained at the dining table, finishing her meal. She was convinced it had to be Nancy at the door. As footsteps approached, she continued eating at an unhurried pace, mentally preparing a lashing for Nancy.

The mere memory of falling for Nancy's manipulative stunt made her stomach churn. All the pent-up frustration felt like the aftermath of a drunken night. It was nothing but a foggy mess of regret and embarrassment.
