“Are you feeling okay?” my friend Lexi asked as she swept into my office holding a tray of cups bearing the logo from our friend’s coffee truck.

“I feel fine, why?” I asked as I held my hand out and waited for her to give me a cup.

“No no no. It’s not that simple, sweetheart. You know that,” Lexi chided.

“What? Why would I feel bad? Is there a bug going around I haven’t heard about?”

“I know! I’m late, but I’m here,” Lexi’s sister Leia said as she skidded through the hallway and bumped into the doorframe. As she swept into the room, I saw our friend Emerald’s face on the screen of her phone that she was holding.

“I didn’t realize I had vertigo until I sat through Leia’s mad dash across the parking lot and into your office. Thanks, hag.”

“I didn’t do a damn thing,” I protested as Leia propped her phone up against my purse that was sitting on the end of my desk. She adjusted it so Emerald could see all of us as I told her sister, “Now give me my coffee and explain to me why I feel like I’m on one of those fake reality shows about an intervention.”

“You clearly know you need one or that wouldn’t have been the first thing to pop in mind,” Lexi said knowingly as she passed me a coffee and then gave one to her sister. “So, again, I ask, how do you feel?”

“I’m fine. Why wouldn’t I be?” I asked.

“We just wanted to make sure that Sabrina’s karma chicken didn’t make you sick,” Leia explained.

“Sabrina who?” I asked innocently. “I ate the chicken that Damien and I made and . . .”

“You lyin’ ho,” Leia said with a grin before she took a sip of her coffee. “She’s doing it with a straight face too. Do you see that, Em?”

“You stole Sabrina Allison’s chicken and pretended it was your own,” Lexi accused.

“Why would I do that?”

“She stole Emerald’s boyfriend, so you stole her chicken? That sounds like some drama off one of those cooking shows.”

Leia laughed. “Like Paula Dean and Martha Stewart going head to head over Paul Hollywood.”

“I’d watch that,” Emerald chimed in. “My money’s on Martha.”

“Oh, hell no. Paula’s country. She’d hunt you down and skin you like a deer,” Leia argued. “Slap a little butter on your ass and then roast you in a pit out back.”

“Martha will shank a bitch,” Emerald joked. “She hangs out with Snoop, and you’ve gotta be cool to do that.”

“I’m with Em. I think Martha would come out on top,” I agreed. “So, you’re staging an intervention because I stole some baked chicken? Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Twenty years ago, this would have been a much different conversation.”

“Not really,” Emerald argued. “We’re not here to talk about chicken. Screw the chicken and fuck Sabrina Allison.”

“See. I knew you’d understand.”

“She didn’t steal her boyfriend. She started the rumor that got the boyfriend to break up with Em, and then she stole him.
