George Cheated, Did You Know?

"I've never deceived you. I know what you're referring to—you mean seeing George at the café!" Monica's demeanor remained unchanged as she looked at me. "It's because I didn't want you to get hurt! I, Monica, would do anything for you but never at the expense of taking away someone you love! Is our friendship really that fragile?" She stared back at me intensely with her question.

Angel, sensing the tension in our voices, got up and toddled over, clutching my leg with her little arms, her big eyes darting anxiously between us as she weakly called out, "Mommy!"

I quickly crouched down to embrace her, reassuring her, "Don't be scared, baby. Auntie and I are just discussing something; we're not fighting."
