From the other end of the line, Frank says, “Since she can’t reach you, she’s called me a few times in the last hour but I haven’t picked up any of her calls or replied to the long message she sent

I shake my head with a sigh. “Seriously? I thought something really bad happened.”

“What did her message say?”

“She wants to see you so you can talk and if you choose to ignore her, she’ll camp right outside your house until it raises suspicions.”

“Is she that desperate?”

“If she’s telling you this through me, isn’t it obvious?”

“I hope you blocked her.”

“Of course I did, but you better deal with her madness before she shows up at my house. Just talk to her or something because I don’t want her here.”

It seems that the change in my mood has put an end to Vanessa’s annoying chat as she stops texting and chuckling. It’s better this way. Otherwise, it would only annoy me even more.

It hasn’t even been twenty four hours since I ended my relationship with Carmella and she’s already threatening to do something that’ll obviously he a bad look for me, but no. She’s not getting what she wants. I ended our relationship and it needs to stay that way.

“We’re almost at the store,” I say to Vanessa. “People will be watching. You know what to do.”
