Chapter 15

DORIE AND DANA WERE WAITING FOR THEM IN THE KITCHEN.

Dorie nodded and sat down at the table. “Getting too old for all this excitement.”

“I didn’t mean to cause all this trouble. I’ll pack my things.” Dana started for the door.

Dorie smacked her hand on the table. “Between you and Van I’ve never seen two people in such a hurry to leave a place and people who want them to stay. And I got three words for the both of you.”

“Get over yourself,” chorused Suze, Van, and even Dana who spoke the words under her breath.

“So was Joe okay?” Dana asked.

“He was until Van finished him with a one-two punch.”

Dana shot a look at Van. “You didn’t.”

“I didn’t hit him,” Van said. “I just . . . we had a little misunderstanding.”

“All on Van’s part,” Dorie said.

“Yeah, okay, all my fault. I’m going to bed.” Van didn’t wait for anyone to protest. She was pretty sure no one would.

Van didn’t sleep all that well for obvious reasons. She’d jumped to conclusions and hurt someone she cared for—had cared for. Who according to all accounts was a good person. And it was because of her own insecurities and preconceptions.

Okay, so she was a bitch. She’d apologize. She’d even go and apologize in person. That would be better than having to listen to Suze moan, Dorie chastise her, and God only knew what Dana thought. Probably glad Van had made a fool of herself.

And there it was. She might as well admit it. She was petrified of appearing anything but completely put together, the happy, educated, professional success story.

Was her success so tenuous that it couldn’t withstand a few honest mistakes? Would it fall in shambles if she forgave people who had also reaped the consequences of their, and subsequently her, actions?

And if the life she’d carefully built could fall apart so easily, why was she holding on to it so tightly?
