Betrayal
Anise's Reckoning
“At least I’m not sipping vodka from a tea cup,” Gary blurted at Anise, full of contempt, breaking the seal on what had remained unspoken far too long.
She paused only briefly before looking directly at me, surrendering in defeat and disgust. Anice knew immediately that I’d betrayed her, sharing her secret. But deeper than that, as her eyes filled with tears, she knew she’d betrayed herself. For although I may have breached her trust by revealing the truth to Gary, she now realized that she had never been very good at concealing it in the first place.

When Warren Met Gwen, part eight: the finale
“Ok, that’s it,” Gwen exclaimed vehemently as she hastily donned her sweatshirt and track pants. She grabbed her underwear from the foot of the bed and tossed them into her oversized purse. “That is beyond messed up and I am getting the hell out of here….” she continued as she exited the bedroom and made her way to the front door.

BARE HUNTER
CHAPTER 15 I pulled up in front of Sandy’s a little early, so I texted Becca again and left a message for Sharon, hoping she had a good day and I’d see her tomorrow. Two cars pulled into Sandy’s driveway. I don’t know why I was surprised to see another man with her. We’d been apart for two years and I certainly didn’t waste any time getting back on the horse.
