This setup lasted for five whole days. Today was Friday. Bennett had a dinner party in the evening. Marcia made some chicken soup for Claudia, but she didn't feel Like having it.

Normally, she would text back right away and ask Aurora with enthusiasm where they were going. But not today. When she saw the message, she felt no desire to reply. Stupid love had her feeling all broken up.
