They'd known each other forever-Alicia was that childhood friend she and Jeanette had grown up with.

Truth was, Alicia and she had been at odds since they were kids.

If anything, things were even worse now.

Watching Alicia stalk toward her, cheeks flushed with anger, Citrine couldn't help but let out a laugh.

"What's so funny?" Alicia demanded, her voice tight, as if she'd just landed a punch on a pillow.
