CHARLOTTE WAS RIGHT. Connor didn’t call me. I guess we really had broken up.

“Do you think those things Julia said about Charlotte are true?”

Ava placed another chair on the stack by the wall, but glanced in my direction. That question was the first thing I’d said to her today that wasn’t work-related. Our feelings were raw after our last conversation, but I knew I needed to suck it up. She was my best friend. I needed her.

I swept up glitter and paper scraps off the floor. Finally she said, “Now you want my opinion?”

Why was friendship so hard? “Yes. I do. Please.”

“Okay, you want to know if what Julia said about that girl running away and sleeping around is true? I’m not sure.” She pulled the trash can toward me so I could dump the pan in. “Julia likes to gossip, but she’s usually pretty on target.”

“I know.”

“Why do you want to know now?”

I took the broom to the back and put it away. “Connor and I broke up. I think.”

Ava’s jaw dropped in shock. “Are you serious? When?”

“The other day. He said some harsh things. I called him a jerk.”

“But you think this is about Charlotte?”

“Kind of.” I searched for the right words. “Things have been different since she died. We can’t seem to get past it.”

She leaned against the front counter. “What are you going to do about it? Let him go? Fight for him?”

In the past, Connor would have fought for me. I knew this. I also knew, regardless of our personal relationship, I couldn’t let Charlotte take him down. “I think maybe I need to understand better what is going on with him. He won’t tell me anything about her, but obviously there is more to it than what I know.”

“Right, like what Julia said. She seemed like a girl with a dark past.”

“Exactly.”

She walked around the counter to get our bags and I took off my smock, hanging it on the hook by the door. “What do we do first?”

“We?”

“Duh. I can stalk and research and gossip for a good cause.”

“I’m not sure this counts as a good cause.”

“My best friend’s love life? Totally a good cause.” She winked and pushed open the front door. “Where do we go first?”

“To find Julia?”

She nodded in approval. “I know just where to find her.”
