63. Clarity

Evelyn Chibwe woke up in a cold sweat. She was alone. She sighed as she padded to her bathroom with bare feet.

She looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was standing on end. She looked horrible.

Then it all came back to her. She'd found Kira in Reg's apartment and lost it.

Reg wasn't there and even though they'd been dating for a year now, Eve didn't have a key to his apartment, yet Kira had let Eve in.

Kira had been triumphant at the shock on Eve's face. Her hair & lips looked like she'd been kissed thoroughly. Eve had played cool and hung around for Reg who didn't show up for hours.

Eve had gone to Reg’s room and the door was locked. When she called him his phone rang from the bedroom. She sighed.

It had been hard to imagine that the guy who had risked humiliation in front of everyone in high school was blatantly ignoring her. Kira had said Reg couldn’t come out of his room but refused to explain why.
