Jessica's eyes narrowed slightly, clearly uncomfortable with the way the conversation was heading. She shifted her weight, trying to keep her voice casual. "What exactly are you trying to suggest, Kiara? That Gabriel cheated on you with me or something? Gabriel's been obsessed with you since high school. You know that. And you and I… we've been best friends forever. We're practically soulmates."
I watched her through the mirror, her words slipping out with practiced ease, as if she'd rehearsed this defense.
I hummed softly, not looking away from her reflection. "I saw a news story recently," I said, keeping my tone light, as if I was just chatting about something trivial. "A girl… she walked in on her best friend sleeping with her husband. Caught them in bed together."
