Chapter 85: The Two of You Are a Match

It was only a few days before the flight to Sarkadia, and Hallie still had one more very important thing to do.

She was standing nervously in the hallway after knocking on Jessica’s door…

“Hey,” Jessica said almost shyly.

“Hey.”

“So, you finally decided to talk to your best friend?”

“Yeah, well, you could have called me too,” Hallie said.

“Come on in.” Jessica went into the kitchen and poured them some iced tea. It seemed to release some of the tension as they sat down in the living room with their drinks.

“I’m sorry,” Hallie began, “You were completely right about Luke, and I was wrong. His timing couldn’t have been better because right after I talked to you he did one of the things he does best…”

Hallie told her everything that happened during their visit to the ranch, including Luke kissing Terry.

“Wow. I actually didn’t know he’d be that bad,” Jessica said, looking more shocked by Luke’s behavior than proud of herself for being right.
