"Yeah, wasn't it a brilliant idea to see in the New Year here?" Sabrina grinned mischievously.
Olivia nodded with a smile, "Absolutely!"
"Hey, where's Allie?" Sabrina glanced at the door and pulled out her phone. "Let me give her a call."
Just then, the door swung open.
Sabrina looked up, smiling. "I was just about to call you and—wait, what the heck?"
It wasn't Allison who walked in, but Joshua. And Megan.
Sabrina's smile vanished, replaced by a simmering anger. She demanded, "Who invited them?"
Olivia shook her head, signaling she had nothing to do with it.
George shrugged, also clueless.
Brian awkwardly chimed in, "Weren't you the one who said we should celebrate New Year's? I couldn't leave out my best buddy, could I?"
"Seriously, are you out of your mind?" Sabrina snapped. "Don’t you know what he did to Allie? He hooked up with a movie star! I put this whole thing together to cheer Allie up, and you bring Joshua? What were you thinking?"
"What?" Brian looked bewildered. "You never told me not to invite Joshua. We've been tight for over a decade..."
Brian rubbed his nose and sighed, "Don’t blow a gasket. A breakup’s just a breakup. We’re all in the same circle. We can’t just cut one of them off over this."
"Ha." Sabrina let out a sarcastic laugh. "Why not? I’ve got no interest in hanging out with Joshua. If it means cutting ties, then so be it!"
