Faye let out a long sigh. "What now?"
"It's my friend, Ethan Osborn. His sister seems to be in some trouble. I need to check it out," Wilbur replied helplessly.
Faye scowled, slapping Wilbur on the arm. "You've got lots of options, haven't you? First that Sammy Shandon, and now some girl in college?"
"What are you talking about?" Wilbur huffed in amusement. "She's a close friend's sister."
"Well, what's up between you and Sammy, then?" Faye stared Wilbur down.
Wilbur scrambled to say, "Nothing! I swear on my life. Nothing at all!"
"You might not feel that way, but she might. That's a celebrity right there."
Faye's stare was starting to send chills down Wilbur's back, and he hastily said, "I need to get to Shelby in case something happens to her."
He got up in a hurry and fled from the room.
Faye sighed, leaning back against the couch saying nothing.
As a woman, she could tell that Sammy did have feelings for Wilbur.
Who knew what Wilbur had been up to during his time in Zealand? Faye had been highly upset for the past few days, but there was no one she could talk to.

She had tried to talk herself into not stressing over these things as Wilbur and her were already official but could not help the occasional moments of jealousy.
Faye lay down on the sofa and ended up falling asleep.
She had chosen Wilbur, and she was going to stick to her decision. It was not her fault he was so perfect.
