Saturdays were reserved for walking Suzanne’s Labrador, and Zoey had memorized the dog’s favourite routes like the back of her hand. First came a stop at Craig’s Confectioneries, where Miss Pebbles insisted on getting a bite of the sweet cakes he usually sold her, sometimes for free. Then came a trip to the park, where Zoey would watch her employer’s overjoyed pet trot around with its tail wagging furiously. She had spent months searching for side jobs because being a barrister barely earned her enough to cover her meals and electricity bills. Lately, however, her landlord had been complaining about her delayed rent payments and seemed increasingly eager to have her out. He hadn’t explicitly threatened to evict her, but Zoey had a feeling it was only a matter of time. The walk back to Suzanne’s expensive condo was short. Zoey prepared Miss Pebbles’ food and set it aside for later, then decided her shift was officially over at noon. She unchained her bicycle from the railings and p

Of course, Zach was always her go-to confidant in times of distress because he always knew what to tell her, even if it was a lie.And now, she needed that convincing lie more than ever.“The bride is Amanda,” she told him, almost tearing up.“Who's Amanda?” Zach was lost and didn't really pay attention to Zoey since he was getting tipsy at a friend's place.She wanted to reach into the phone and claw his eyes out in frustration. Didn't he know how serious this was?Well, no, he doesn't because he isn't the one who had made the stupid decision to ruin a potentially great marriage, Zoey! she thought.“If you don't listen to me, I am going to kill myself right now,” she threatened him.“Well, sheesh, don't do that,” he objected.“Come on, you know Amanda. We went to CAL-U together. I told you about that time she said she was g
