June had already decided she was going to cave and bring Summer. It
wasn’t mandatory that anyone attend because that would just be twisted on

“Yeah. I am. I just heard about it this morning, but…yes.”
“Okay.” June walked over to the door, her back burning as badly as the
rest of her as she felt Arabella’s hot stare there. She opened it quickly. “See

Arabella left quietly. She turned right instead of left, the opposite
direction of her office, but June quickly closed her door and didn’t correct
her. She figured she’d see her in a few seconds, correcting her path. She’d
be seeing a lot of Arabella if she continued to work there. The one person
she’d always hoped she’d never run into again.
It appeared that Arabella had changed completely, but maybe that was
just a front. It was too early to tell, and like Summer, June still had her
suspicions, and those wouldn’t be easily dismissed. It would be hard for her
to put any trust into her ex-tormenter.
Life had a funny way of twisting things up, turning people upside down,
and making a crazy mess of things. June shook her head, not pleased in the
least by coincidence or fate or whatever had brought their lives back into
orbit.
