on my shoulder causing me to jump and scream. Marcia laughs hysterically.
    “Marcia, what are you doing here? You scared the crap out of me.”
    “Surprise, surprise, Giselle. So where exactly have you been? Where’s Liam?”
    “What brings you back so early? Is everything okay with you and David?”
    “It couldn’t be better between us, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. There’s an emergency David has to handle.” Her eyes glance over my messy appearance. Smirking she asks, “But the real question is…did you just do the walk of shame?”
    I turn my back towards her and face the bed, it’s then I see the scripted writing on the shirt I have sinned. Boy have I, the tears can’t be contained any longer and I lose it. Marcia rushes to my side to comfort me. We sit down and after crying on her shoulder for a few minutes, I’m ready to talk. I tell her all about my run-ins with Ethan. Her face turns slack, mouth becomes slightly open and she’s wide-eyed.
    “Say something!”
    “My mind is blank. I’m shocked!”
    “I’ve already decided I’m not seeing Ethan anymore. I know I have to eventually tell Liam what happened. It’s unfair to lie to him, especially when he’s never lied to me. At least, I can’t prove that he has. I’m just disappointed in myself for not having better control over things.”
    Marcia frowns and asks, “What do you mean?”
    I tell her about my last conversation with Liam and how it seems he may be sleeping with someone else.
    “You can’t blame yourself, we’re only human and we all make mistakes. Don’t beat yourself up over this, it’s not like you were sleeping with both of them.”
    “I know, but still. I should’ve known better. I allowed my needs for sex to get the best of me and now I may lose Liam forever.”
    “Girl, calm down. Don’t get yourself all worked up first thing in the morning.”
    My phone rings and I jump. I whisper, “I don’t want to answer. What if it’s Ethan?”
    “You’ll never know until you check and even then you don’t have to respond.”
    She gets up and grabs my purse. I pull the phone out. The screen displays a new text from Ethan. I’m reluctant to open it as I don’t even want to know what it says.
    Why did you run without saying goodbye, Little Rebel?
    I hand Marcia the phone and she reads the message. Her eyebrows rise.
    “Little Rebel? He definitely hit the nail on the head saying that.”
    I snatch my phone from her.
    “Now isn’t the time for jokes. I’m in the middle of a serious crisis.”
    “I know. I’m trying to make you smile.”
    I rub my head. “This is all my doing. Time to put on my big girl panties and deal with it. I’m sorry for snapping at you.”
    “Go take a nice hot shower and I’ll treat you to breakfast?”
    “That sounds like a plan, as long as you’re not cooking.”
    “Of course I’m not! Are you crazy? Glad you haven’t lost your sense of humor. I’ll be in the kitchen whenever you’re ready.”
    I take a shower. The warm water washes away all my earlier tears. I’m dressed and ready within twenty minutes. Marcia’s drinking juice at the bar when I walk into the kitchen.
    “Where would you like to go? It’s my treat.”
    “No, Marcia, you have done enough. It’s my treat.”
    “Okay, you know I never argue when it comes to a free meal.”
    I smile. We grab our bags and head to Waffle House. I’m in desperate need of some comfort food.
    I spot two empty barstools upon our entrance. There’s no need for me to look at the menu because I want waffles and two scrambled eggs with Monterey jack cheese. Marcia orders a ham and cheese omelet.
    “What am I going to do? How will I tell Liam, much less look him the eye?”
    My eyes are starting to water again when my phone chimes again. I shake my head unable to check who the recent message is from. I hand Marcia the phone.
    “It’s Ethan. He says he wants to talk to you.”
    She hands me back the phone and I drop it in my
