"Alma, you've forgiven me, haven't you? Alma, you're so good to me. I knew you wouldn't leave me behind..."

The words Alma wanted to say were stuck in her throat, and all that came out was, "Lena, we're still friends. I'm not the type to judge people by their wealth."

Lena's eyes twinkled with triumph. After making calls to both Nola and Sylvie, she felt assured that her friendships were secure. Pacing the room, she muttered to herself, "Oh, Josefina, let's see what you've got up your sleeve, and how long you can keep that smug smile on your face."

Regina stayed up all night. Her eyes were shadowed with fatigue, and she had finally finished her task. She glanced at the clock. It was five in the morning, and she was dead tired.
