Chapter 129

"What's trending?"

Effie looked puzzled. She hadn't seen anything trending online.

She was never one for gossip anyway-unless someone called or texted her directly, she rarely bothered with online news. She knew most of it was just attention-seeking nonsense, people trying to stir up drama for clicks.
