Suzan sounded genuinely puzzled, “I’m sorry, who is this…….?”

“It’s Joy, sweetheart!” Joy didn’t bother trying to jog any non-existent memories Suzan might have had of her.

“It’s been ages since we’ve caught up and I’ve been absolutely dying to see you! How could we miss your homecoming bash? Even if it were raining knives, we’d crawl there! Send me the details, and we’ll see you tonight!”
