TIMOFEY
It's late, but I can hear Piper talking softly in her room.
"It was a stressful day." There's a long pause while whoever she is talking to responds. "I love you, too. I've just been busy."
Who the fuck is she talking to? I asked her about Rodion, but I apparently should have made sure there wasn't anyone else in her life.
"You're right," she sighs. "I should have called sooner. You and Gram both deserved a prompt apology. I didn't mean anything I said."
My hackles lower as I realize she's talking to Ashley. One of the leeches.
"I really didn't mean it. You are one of my best friends, Ash. You mean—" She stops, groaning at whatever Ashley says. "Yes, you're one of my best friends. I love you and Noelle the same. No, no tiebreakers."
I roll my eyes. Ashley is a leech financially and emotionally, apparently. Fucking pathetic.
