Going on a long drive with Sarah was not as bad as I expected. She is a pretty good company.
Of course, I still feel extremely guilty for not telling Amanda, but I don't know what else to do. Going on a business trip with Sarah alone is bad enough. If Amanda finds out that I am now stuck in a car with her for hours, she will…
"Penny, for your thought?" Sarah asks.
I grip the steering wheel a little tighter, debating how much to say. "Just thinking about work," I lie. "And how long this drive is."
She tilts her head, studying me like she doesn't quite believe me. "I see. Sure, it's about work and not, you know… Amanda?"
My jaw tightens involuntarily. Sarah doesn't miss it.
"Knew it," she says, leaning back in her seat with a smug look.
I sigh, rubbing the back of my neck. "Amanda worries. A lot."
"She worries, or she doesn't trust you?" Sarah challenges.
I shoot her a look. "That's not fair."
