“Leave it alone… For your sake and mine.” ( Mary to Shay )
Betrayal of a friend was the worst form of ‘fuck you’ to her, no matter how small. True it wasn’t any of her business -- no, not even in the least bit -- but she couldn’t help herself but feel angry.
“ You know, you could have at least told me. And what’s going to happen? For my sake -- for yours. Why. What’s he done? What’s he going to do? What are you going to do if I don’t, Mary? ”
Shay shook her head, messy curls falling into her face forcing her to uncurl tight fists to push it away. “ I told you about Lily, you could have told me about him. ” Her voice was tight, heavy with hurt, but she turned and walked not giving her a chance to answer her because for now she didn’t want to hear any of it.
