Suzan froze, a sudden sense of dread creeping over her.

She glanced toward Effie, lips pressed together, putting on her best innocent-lamb look.

"Effie, I know life's not easy for you," Suzan said, her voice soft and saccharine. "You're trying to save face, gritting your teeth just to come up with that two hundred thousand. If you're in trouble, you can always tell me. I'll help you. I promise."

Effie looked at Suzan, a cold smile tugging at her lips. "Suzan, your acting's getting a bit much."

Suzan bit her lip. "I'm not acting."

Effie patted Suzan's shoulder in a mock-friendly gesture, letting her hand linger there a moment. "Relax," she said coolly. "I really don't need that two hundred thousand."
