He glanced down at his phone when a new text came in, thinking it might be Efua. It wasn’t. It was Victoria, sending him another selfie.
In this one, she was wearing a very sexy top and grinning at him over a cocktail.
Who knew where she was this evening—out with friends, as normal. He had no idea where she found the energy. He wanted his chair at home and a beer.
He must be getting old.
The selfie made him remember the conversation he’d had with Efua that morning about Janet. The girls needed to get to know Victoria better. No time like the present to start, since Victoria clearly wasn’t doing anything important this evening.
He clicked on her number and waited for it to connect.
“Hey, baby,” she greeted him.
“Hi. How’s your day?”
“Fabulous. You should see the new shoes I bought this afternoon.”
She was always buying shoes. There was no way for him to keep up with them all. “I can’t wait. What are you doing right now?”
