“S

orry,” Eva finally spoke, wiping her eyes. “I’m just so happy.”

“You got beaten up, and you’re happy?” Bella didn’t understand and Eva knew that she would tell her, at least a part of her reason for such joy.

“Katrina is the last thing on my mind right now. This,” she gestured at her cracked lip, “I don’t even feel it anymore. It’s like it never happened.”

“I can see that,” Bella said, after a moment’s reflection. “I just can’t figure out why.”

“Do you want the good news or the better news first?”

“Isn’t that good news or bad news?”

“Not in this case,” Eva shared. “So choose, good news or better news?”

“Good news first, I guess.”

“I was up in the abandoned house…”

“What?” Bella shrieked. “Why the hell would you go there? Don’t you know it’s dangerous?”

“Chill,” Eva calmed her down, “I wasn’t alone.”

“Even worse,” Bella snorted. “Who were you with?”

“Frey…” Eva started, thinking whether she could be honest with Bella or not.

Then she realized she’d had enough of false friends and people who would think she was a freak. Those weren’t the kind of people she wanted to be around, so if Bella couldn’t understand what made her happy… well, then, Bella wasn’t much of a friend.

“And Dorian,” Eva finally added.

“You were… with both of them?” Bella asked, just to make sure she understood correctly.

“Yes, with both of them,” she affirmed.

“Did you guys…?”

“Yes,” Eva confirmed again, a part of her scared of what would follow.

Bella eyed her for a few seconds, which seemed to last like an entire eternity, during which Eva had already said goodbye to her newfound best friend, who was great company, but probably not the only person who could become Eva’s best friend. There were so many other people in the world, people who would understand what she…

“So, I guess you’ll have to kick Katrina’s ass next time,” Bella grinned, interrupting Eva’s train of thought.

Now, Eva was sure that she had a friend for life. She’d received no backlash or preaching. Only understanding and a smile, which proved that true friendship was really unconditional.

“So, how was it?” Bella asked, shuffling closer to Eva. “I want to hear all the juicy details.”

“Eh now,” Eva laughed. “I don’t kiss and tell.”

“Is Dorian packing? I heard he is. I heard he’s huge!” Bella’s eyes drooled at the thought.

Eva laughed.

“All I’m going to say is that it really was an unforgettable experience and I do hope we’ll get to do it again, maybe with someone else involved.”

“Someone else!?” Bella was shocked, but in a good way. “Who? Who?”

“You sound like an owl,” Eva couldn’t stop laughing. “If I tell you, you might not like it.”
