"Coming." Karen couldn't be bothered to put on her shoes and ran straight to the door.
But she was cautious, peering through the peephole before swinging it open.
It wasn't Jeffrey. It was his ex.
Suddenly, Karen felt a twinge of annoyance. This one was nothing like the woman she'd bumped into at the mall, who had at least the ability to read the room. But this one was clingy, like chewing gum stuck to the sole of your favorite sneakers.
Karen toyed with the idea of pretending she wasn't home, but the woman outside had already started shouting.
"I know you're there, open up. We need to talk."
Silence.
She even knew Karen was home. Had she bugged the place?
With a sigh, Karen draped a cardigan over her shoulders and slipped into a pair of loafers before opening the door. If she was going to face her romantic rival, she wasn't about to do it looking like she'd just rolled out of bed.
Paige's eyes widened at the sight of Karen.
"What are you doing here?"
Quick as a whip, Karen realized the comment had been intended for Jeffrey. She scoffed internally at the thought that she'd been worried about this woman's 'powers.'
"In Jeffrey's house, seeing his fiancée, what's so surprising? But bumping into his ex, now that's unexpected."
Karen's sharp tongue was no stranger to Paige.
And Paige knew better than to expect any concessions in a war of words.
"Where's Jeffrey?" she asked, masking her irritation.
"You're looking for him?" Karen feigned ignorance.
Paige's cheeks flushed with anger. "Of course, who else?"
Karen feigned a laugh. "Well, if you're looking for him, why ask me? Don't tell me you've lost his number. Or maybe you called and he's not picking up?"
