She made a listening face. “Huh.”
“I’m not yelling at you, okay? You have every right to drink and sulk, but can you not do it during the day when I need your help to pay the bills?”
She nodded. “Sorry, Luce.”
I shook my head and set the bottle down. Then I took my phone out of my pocket and dialed Aiden’s number. He didn’t answer. I tried again. Nothing. “Are you sure he was here?”
“Yeah,” Fiona said, leaning against the inside of her bathroom door. “I’m drunk, not hallucinating.”
“Why would he leave?”
“I don’t know.”
“How long was he here?”
“Ten minutes maybe? I got him a drink and we joked about Tinder, and then I came in here to wash off my face mask because it was freaking him out.”
“What do you mean you joked about Tinder?”
“We just talked about what a bitch Chelsea was basically.”
I swallowed. “What exactly did you say?”
“Just that he must’ve been pissed when he found out she was on it while they were going out, and I said if Peter-”
I covered my face with my hands.
“What?”
“He doesn’t know she was on it,” I said.
“Sure he does.”
“I never told him.”
“But he knew she was-”
“Cheating. He knew she was cheating. That’s it.” I sighed. “As far as I know, he had no idea she was on Tinder.”
“But-”
I walked over and put my hands on her shoulders. “I need you to think very carefully.”
Her eyes went wide.
“I’m not upset, okay? I just need to know what you said.”
She pursed her lips. “I don’t know. I-”
“Did you say that we saw her on a date?”
She nodded.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath through my nose. “Did you say she came up on Alex’s phone?”
She swallowed.
“Did you?”
