Chapter 25:

Kallie was visibly shocked, her eyes wide as she stared at Jake.

“Kallie just got out of the hospital today, and we thought a spa day would be nice. Is there a problem with that? Didn’t expect to get bullied by a home-wrecker here!” Linsey rose to her feet, her eyes blazing with anger.

Sarah’s frustration was palpable, her nails dug into her palms. However, she managed to maintain a facade of composure in front of Jake, offering him only a look of subdued appeal. “Jake…”

“You go and enjoy yourself with your friend,” Jake replied as he led Kallie away, though not without offering a comforting word to Sarah. “We’ll talk tonight.”
