Sasha paused briefly in surprise before replying, “No, I’m not.”
“I know you are, Mommy! You haven’t been talking much tonight, Mommy! Did someone bully you? You can tell Vivi! Vivi will avenge you!”
She’s such a sweet child, but there’s no way I could tell her even if I really was bullied!
Sasha returned to her bedroom after Vivian had fallen asleep, but her suffocating restlessness kept her awake.
Feeling like she needed someone to talk to, she whipped out her phone and began scrolling through her list of contacts.
After a bit of scrolling, she finally saw a name that caught her eye.
“Willow?”
“Well, well, well… If it isn’t the great Ms. Nancy? I didn’t think you’d call!”
A familiar voice could be heard saying that in a joking manner the moment the call got through.
Sasha let out a helpless chuckle and asked, “Haha! What are you saying? Anyway, what have you been up to lately? Where have you been?”
Willow sighed the moment she heard that. “What else could I be up to? I’m still working the same job every day, shuttling between my house and the office. Life is as boring as watching paint dry if you ask me!”
Sasha went silent as she recalled how someone who claimed to be Willow had come looking for her at the hotel in Corleon.
Had Lance not been there to stop me, god knows what would’ve happened to me…
Her fingers went pale as she tightened her grip on the phone.
“Hey, what’s with the silence? What about you, huh? What are you doing?”
“I just took a shower a while ago. Willow, can I ask you a question?” Sasha was a little hesitant at first, but decided to bring up the topic anyway.
Willow froze when she heard how formal Sasha sounded and realized she was getting serious.
“Sure, go ahead! What is it?” Willow responded in a more serious manner as well.
