Is It True?

~~Are you home?~~

I sat up straight in my chair when I read the text from Henrietta. This was the first I’d heard from her since Wednesday morning when I texted her to ask how things had gone with Edi. She’d been vague, saying not too good and she’d tell me about it later. Bea was supposed to pick her up today, but when I got here, the disappointment that she wasn’t here was brutal. Waiting until Sunday to have to see her had already been torture, especially because she hadn’t responded to any of my texts since Wednesdays.

Bea said Henrietta had texted her this morning to let her know she didn’t need to pick her up because she wasn’t going to make it in today. She wasn’t feeling well. Of course, I immediately texted her to see if everything was okay, but again she hadn’t responded. I tried again later in the day and nothing.
