“Don’t be silly; you are one of the nicest people I know. You are one of the closest friends I have ever had” Sheryl told her honestly thinking of how Renée had made her feel comfortable and helped her to settle in. As far as Sheryl was concerned Renée was her best friend; they had a lot of good times since they had gotten here and Sheryl was grateful to Renée for each and every great moment they had spent together.
“I am?” Renée asked.
“Yes you are” Sheryl confirmed.
“Thank you” Renée said earnestly. She was touched by what Sheryl had said; it was comforting yet taunting at the same time. It made her feel appreciated and guilty; guilty that she was lying to Sheryl and pretending to be someone she wasn’t. She wished she could reverse time and change everything but she couldn’t.

“Just okay?” Ed asked.
“What do you want me to say?” Lance asked his friend wondering what he wanted to hear.
