Becca turned to Karl, crushing him with indifference. “Look Karl, be a good sport, will ya?” Becca said. “I’m way out of your league and I think we both know it.”

Karl was floored by her words, literally.

Sassy stepped over Karl and stared at Becca teary-eyed. “So it’s true?” Sassy asked. “You would betray a lifelong friend by carousing with the enemy?“

“Don’t you see, Sassy? You are the enemy,” Becca said. “I have walked on eggshells to keep you happy all these years and for what? When will you be content? When none of us have a chance at happiness?”

“What exactly are you saying Becca?” Sassy said, tears streaming down her face. “I thought we were friends. I thought we always looked out for each other.”

“Call it tough love,” Becca replied. “Hell, you can even call it an intervention. Just do us all a favor and get some help before it’s too late. Otherwise, you’ll end up a bitter old pill that nobody wants to be around.”

“Tell us how you really feel,” Karl said reviving from his catnap.
