Vanessa

Holding my breath, I back away from the mirror, widening the distance between Carmella and me.

She takes off her shades with a sneer, mockingly shaking her head

"Took you long enough to figure out that it's me," she says.

"Don't be ridiculous." She rolls her eyes, placing a hand on her chest. "Why would I want to follow you?"

I look over at the door, about to scream for security.

"Don't even dare call for those idiots outside. They did an extremely terrible job at keeping me away from you, but hey, how could they have possibly known that I was the one who was coming into the ladies' room? Anyway, how does it feel fucking the man I love?"
