What He Came For
"Nancy, you've been eating more but getting skinnier. And you're so pale..."
I grinned and teased Wendy. "Your cooking is as yummy as ever, Wendy. The guy who marries you is going to be one lucky dude!"
Wendy giggled and playfully chided me. "Chill out, if I ever find my fated mate, you'll be the first to know!"
I kept quiet, my face hidden in my plate, fighting back tears.
She did not know.
I might not get to see her happy ever after.
Wendy did not catch on to my mood and cheerfully added, "Hey, I hooked you up with a fashion show. It's just for one walk, and you're the backup, but the pay is crazy good."
