Chapter 136: Cabin in the Woods and an Embezzlement

Ariana sat in the car with Rosalyn as they drove out of the city and into the forest. Ariana kept her gaze out of her window as her friend drove with the music blasting hard.

"So... Carter seemed upset this morning." Rosalyn gripped the steering wheel as she glanced over at her sad friend. "What happened last night?"

"I gave him back his ring. I don't want it anymore if he's going to argue with me over Emily. By now I'm sure they're out having an amazing brunch and I don't honestly care." Ariana crossed her arms over her chest.

"Except... you do care. You didn't have him take the collar too, did you?" Rosalyn watched her best friend reach up to play with the metal ring.

"I should have. I don't know why I didn't." Ariana let it go and huffed.

"Because deep down, you still want the man. It'll be better after you spend time with me in the fresh air, away from the city lights and sounds. Only crickets and stars for days." Rosalyn nudged her best friend in the shoulder.
