SERENA

How dare he?

How dare he think that I need to be saved?

I’ve lived this long without a man saving me, and I’ll go the rest of my life doing it on my own, too.

I load the last of my things into the rental car and leave the party. I already said bye to Abby and Dee. I don’t really feel like speaking to Logan right now.

First, lying to his parents, and now this.

What in the hell did I get myself into?

As soon as I’m out of the driveway and leaving the wealthy subdivision, I dial my sister’s number.

“Hey, Serena,” she says into the phone. “How was the party?”

“It was incredible. It went great.”

“How was Logan’s family? The giant assholes of the world?”

“More than that,” I hiss.

“Uh oh,” she laughs. “I’m at home, do you want to come over, and we can drink some wine and order pizza?”

“Ooof, that would be heavenly. I’ll be there in twenty.”

I hang up the phone and drive toward my sister’s house. Unloading all of this and dropping off the rental car can wait until the morning.

I pull into Emily’s driveway, the familiar sight of her cozy little house bringing an immediate sense of comfort. I can already see the glow of the kitchen lights spilling out onto the lawn, a warm invitation on this chilly evening.

As I walk up the steps and push open the door, I’m greeted by the sight of Emily standing in the kitchen, her back to me as she pours a second glass of wine. The pizza box is already on the counter, the lid propped open, revealing a large pepperoni and mushroom pizza.

"That was fast," I laugh, kicking off my shoes and dropping my bag on the floor.

Emily turns around, glass in hand, a grin on her face. "It’s been one of those days," she says, sliding the glass across the counter to me.

I take the wine and lean against the counter, raising an eyebrow. "Oh? You want to go first, or should I?"

She waves a hand, her smile softening with concern. "You go first. I need a good story to distract me."

I take a deep breath and a long sip of wine, the cool liquid helping to steady the swirling thoughts in my head.

"Well, I had an interesting encounter with Logan’s mom today," I start, setting my glass down on the counter.

Emily’s eyebrows hike up. "This already sounds like it's going to be good. What happened?"
