Gabriella’s brows furrowed hard against the woman opposite her, and the corner of her lips curled as though she had her opposite number exactly where she wanted.

Best friends? Was that why she poached my man?

Gabriella glared at Joan with one fist clenched tight inside of her other hand.

“Come on. Bottoms up!” she declared.

Very soon, Joan was slumped over the table.

“Joan! Joan!” Gabriella prodded at the unconscious woman with her foot.
