Chapter 33

“I know. But that’s all over with now,” she replies, squeezing my hand again and validating our friendship; allowing me back in her life for good, long-term, sealing us together as best girlfriends again.

36: Admission

Through Zoe, I learn that Ben is safe and healthy and is slowly emerging into her life as a boyfriend again. She informs me, “Ben is traveling a lot, consumed in his career. I rarely see him here in Vanmer. In the past few weeks, he’s been to Miami, New York, San Francisco, Toronto, Maui, Maine, and other places. The man is constantly taking his clothes off for other people. Rumor has it he’ll be going to Milan this summer for a modeling job. Some big company wants him to be a main cover boy for their clothes line. We’ve been talking about me going with him. I’ve never been to Milan and he thinks I’d enjoy it, particularly if I’m with him.”
