A text from Jay popped up shortly after.

JAY

Willa and Christian just told me what happened. I’m off in two hours. Want some company?

Oh, shit. Yes, please.

SAHAR

I’d love it, but you should go home to Eloise.

JAY

Maya’s here for the weekend. They’re having a girls trip in the city.

SAHAR

In that case, sure. I feel like I’m losing my mind, so company would be nice. ??

JAY

Can I bring you anything?

SAHAR

Just yourself.

JAY

Come on, sunshine. I don’t want to come empty handed.

SAHAR

There’s Leo’s Pizza near my place. If you want to pick up a pie, I won’t say no.

JAY

You got it. What kind?

SAHAR

I’m a classic girl, but if you want pepperoni or something, I don’t mind just taking it off!

JAY

Cheese it is.

SAHAR

??

Her nosy brain needed to know how she came up in the conversation, so Sahar FaceTimed Willa, knowing she’d be doing her hair and makeup at this point.

Willa turned on the video, a hair grip in her mouth. “Yes, my darling, how are you feeling?”

“Losing it, mum. Save me.”

Willa smirked. “I’m sure someone will at some point.”
