Elisha froze as she looked up at the unfamiliar face in shock with her lips agape while Alexandra's face instantly lit up with recognition.
That's her best friend standing before her eyes. She had rushed over first thing after coming back from her trip and hearing the news from a mutual friend.
"Kelly!" Alexandra exclaimed as her lips twitched upwards into a smile and the corners of her eyes crinkled together in delight. "I haven't seen you in so long. I missed you!"
Behind her, Elisha simply stared ahead with wide eyes for the longest time and she finally realised the situation she was knee-deep in. Her brain was working hard to find ways to wiggle out of this one. She needed to leave there before her friend blew her cover and exposed the truth. Her grip around the handles of the wheelchair tightened instinctively and her knuckles were starting to turn white.
