“Asha, look at me.”
I looked into his eyes and saw fear.
“I swear to you that I don’t know why Saundra is so pissed off at me. I swear that the words we exchanged yesterday were not the type that would make any woman call off her own wedding.”
It was clear he was telling the truth.
“What the hell is going on?”
“That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you. I don’t have any idea.”
“What was the fight between Saundra and Phil about?” I asked sharply.
Yero stood up so quickly that he banged his knee hard on my desk and let out a yelp of pain.
“Saundra had a fight with Phil?”
“You didn’t know?”
He shook his head in denial and slumped back into the chair with one hand covering his face. “Saundra is going to tell me to my face that she doesn’t want me anymore. That’s the only way to get rid of me.”
My head started to hurt. There was only one thing left to do. I pressed the speaker button so that Yero could hear the conversation and dialed Phil’s number. He answered on the first ring.
“Saundra?”
“No. It’s Asha. I’m sitting here with Yero and we need to talk to you.”
“Is Saundra okay?”
I took a deep breath. “No; she is most definitely not okay. What the hell went on out there last night?”

He groaned. “Put Saundra on the phone.”
“She isn’t here Phil and I’m not telling you anything else about her condition until you answer the question.”
Phil started to cry. “Please tell me that she didn’t try to . . . to . . . kill herself or something?”
“Kill herself?”
Yero and I exchanged frightened glances. In less than a second we were both crying.
“Phil, what happened?”
“You son of a bitch!” screamed Yero. “What the fuck is wrong with Saundra?”
“Phil, you have to tell me what happened.”
“Saundra,” he gasped.
I realized we were getting nowhere. “Phil, my sister did not try to kill herself and, physically she seems fine . . .”
“Thank God.”
“But something has shaken her up mentally. Yero and I can’t help her if we don’t know what’s wrong.”
“She probably doesn’t want you to know.”
