it didn't affect my appetite. I ate a large plate of pasta before returning to the office. Just as I arrived, I received a call from Bree.

Since I hadn't been home for two days, it was normal for her to call me.

"Hey, Bree."

"Maddie, don't keep staying at your friend's place. Come home today. I made ravioli filled with fennel and ricotta."

Bree's words made me want to laugh. It seemed Chris had already found an excuse for me not being at home.

As I was leaving work, Kara came over to me. "Maddie, are you okay?"
