Rochelle was not the kind of person who called for no particular reason just to ask her whether she was asleep.
She still did not answer Samantha's question. "Why are you up so late when you're usually one to go to bed early? Are you getting insomnia because that scumbag Timothy hasn't come back to warm the bed yet?"
Rochelle's view of Timothy started to change, just a little, and she had no longer called him a scumbag since then. Why did she start calling that all of a sudden?
Was she unable to change it out of habit, or could there be some other reason?
Samantha thought for a moment and could not help asking, "Chelle, are you calling me because of something that involves Timothy?"
It was one of those rare times that Rochelle felt a little sentimental.
Samantha had grown up and fooling her was not that easy. The acuity she had honed after spending two years in a foreign country could and should not be ignored.
