Allison glanced at her phone and saw Joy’s name on the screen. Without hesitation, she answered.
“Hey, Ms. Allison, can you swing by? I’ve got a situation and I could really use your help.”
Allison took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. “What’s going on?”
Joy gave her a quick rundown, and Allison’s brow furrowed with concern. “Hang tight, I’m on my way.”
She ended the call, grabbed her bag, and turned to her friends. “Sorry, something urgent came up. We’ll have to catch up another time.”
Sabrina smirked skeptically. “Come on, you’re not just bailing to dodge our questions, are you?”
Allison rolled her eyes and showed Sabrina her call log. “I promise, it’s legit.”
Sabrina crossed her arms, giving a teasing grin. “Alright, but next time, I want all the juicy details!”
“Deal,” Allison replied, already heading out the door.
Sabrina scooted closer to Olivia with a conspiratorial whisper. “Olivia, what do you think it’s like to be in love?”
Olivia’s cheeks turned a shade of pink, and she stammered, “I wouldn’t know... never been in love myself.”
