The next morning at work, Effie was startled when Shirley hurried over to her-her left cheek was swollen and red.

Effie rushed to her, alarmed. "What happened? Are you okay?"

The others in the office watched, clearly expecting a scene. Everyone knew things had soured between Shirley and Effie, so seeing Effie so concerned looked a lot like she was throwing herself at someone who wanted nothing to do with her.

Effie's eyes widened with concern. "Are you alright? Did he hurt you anywhere else?"
