If it weren’t for the people around them, she would have slapped Lauren already.

Zoe took a deep breath. Smirking maliciously, she leaned close to Lauren’s ear, speaking in a low, mocking tone. “You’re right. You’re not an idiot. You’re a psycho.”

Zoe hit her sore spot, each word striking at her heart.

Lauren lowered her head. Tears were welling up at the corners of her eyes, and her cotton dress was crumpled from her delicate fingers, much like her heart at that moment.
