As soon as the call connected, Nita's anxious voice came through. "Effie, are you okay? Why didn't you answer earlier? Where are you?"-

"I'm fine, don't worry. I'm at home," Effie replied, trying to sound as casual as possible.

"That's a relief. By the way, is everything alright between you and Mitchell? He just called me, sounding completely frantic, saying he couldn't find you." Nita's tone was laced with suspicion.

anymore. Oh, and he's with Suzan now." Effie said it calmly, finally able to face the situation without flinching.
