Parker
returned Jarod's phone call as soon as she was back in her room. It gave her a little space to not-think, and try not to replay the events of the
afternoon in her head.
Then she wrote to Angelo.

...A minute later, she got a response.

Not sorry. You okay? Rumor?

RE: RE: Rumor
Alive. I'm considering options. Talking to Jarod Tuesday.
Still mad at you. But. Thank you.

Welcome.

...Angelo's version of I'm-sorry-love-ya-hang-in-there. Which had Parker laughing and wanting to cry again, exhaustion catching up with her. She curled up on her bed and slowly nursed a glass of scotch. Wondering what would happen next.
