That same innocent look. That same gentle voice. That same understanding tone.

Nicole.

Margaret felt a wave of nausea.

“Primo,” she called out in her mind.

Primo said, “Here, Host.”

Primo paused for a second. “Host, this is a sweet romance novel. The way the female lead is described in the book is… delicate and pitiful. The kind that makes you want to protect her.”

“Sweet romance?” Margaret almost laughed. “Her lines sound like she graduated top of her class from the Scheming Bitch Acting School. Listen to her tone, her pacing, her facial expressions.”

Primo sputtered for a moment, unable to respond.

She pulled her thoughts back and looked at Phoebe again.

“So,” she said lazily, “why are you actually here?”

Phoebe looked up, her eyes sincere. “I heard about your situation. I couldn’t stop thinking about it.”

“Heard from who?” Margaret asked.

Phoebe’s words caught in her throat.

Margaret’s eyes slowly swept across the three males in the living room, then landed back on Phoebe. “Did they tell you?”

Phoebe’s expression flickered, but she quickly recovered. She let out a soft sigh, her voice carrying a note of helplessness and hurt. “Margaret, you’ve got it wrong. Ardon and I are just friends. I already have three husbands. How could I ever-”

She stopped at just the right moment. Her eyes dropped. Her lashes fluttered. She looked like she had been wronged terribly, but didn’t want to argue.

Margaret almost laughed out loud.

That little speech-she denied the relationship, but didn’t shut the door completely. And she threw in the bit about already having husbands, planting herself on the moral high ground. Textbook. Absolutely textbook.
