Chapter Fifteen

“Lex, babe, you knocked it out of the park with this halibut,” Hope said as she used a piece of sourdough bread to sop up her remaining lemon-wine sauce. Grace, Hope, Joy, and Lex were sitting at Grace’s table, finishing up the dinner Lex had prepared for them.

When Lex learned that the girls were meeting for dinner, she’d run out and gotten some fresh fish and went to work. With almost no notice, she’d put together one of the best meals Grace had tasted in over a month.

“You know, I never thought I’d say this but these brussels sprouts are amazing. What did you do, spell them to actually taste good?” Before dinner, Grace would’ve sworn she hated them, but whatever Lex had done to them made Grace do a one-eighty on her previous opinion of the vegetable, and she couldn’t get enough.

“It’s amazing how shallots, pine nuts, and butter can really liven a dish up,” Lex said with a wink. “Glad you like them.”

“Everything is fantastic,” Joy agreed. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Lex rose and started to clear the table.

“Oh no. Nope. Sit down,” Hope said as she took the plates in Lex’s hands. “We’ve got the dishes. She who cooks does not clean.” She turned to Grace. “Neither does the host who supplied us with the booze.”

Grace laughed and let her two friends clear the table. She knew better than to argue with them. Instead, she turned to her niece. “How are you doing? You okay after what went down with your mom earlier?”

Lex let out a breath and sat back in her chair. “I guess so? I don’t really know to be honest. Cooking helped center me a little.”

“Good.” Grace reached across the table and squeezed her hand. “Want to talk about whatever else it is you have on your mind?”

Lex frowned. “Like what?”

“Like whatever’s making you uneasy.” Grace glanced at Lex’s phone on the table next to her. “And why you keep checking your phone every few minutes?”

“Do you notice everything?” Lex asked, eyeing her aunt.

“Not everything. But when it comes to you? I’m paying attention. What’s up? It’s more than just your mom, isn’t it?”

Tears filled Lex’s eyes, but instead of answering, she unlocked her phone, tapped the screen a few times, and then handed the phone to Grace.

“What’s this?” She glanced down at the screen and noted a string of texts from Charlie. They started off benign enough, but quickly devolved into nightmare territory.

Hey, Lex. Give me a call. I have a question.

You’re not at work. I tried there. Really, I need you to call me. It’s about your mom’s cat.

Where are you? Fucking call me already.

Hey, you little bitch. If you don’t call me, don’t come crying to me if this cat suddenly goes missing.

There was a continuous string of expletives that got more and more abusive, and then the final one: Since you’re ignoring me, I’ll just have a chat with your girlfriend. She’s always been more fun than you are anyway.
