She opened the door wearing pajamas. « Hey! Did they figure it out? »
« Do you know Bethany’s boyfriend? »
Her smile vanished. « Who? »
« Bethany accused me of stealing him! She had a photograph of you two together! »
We need to talk. NOW.
« What? Sarah, I’ve never even met him! »
« She called me a boyfriend thief! »
« Bethany said that? »
« In front of everyone! »
Zoe stared. « Oh…Why didn’t you tell them you were Sarah? »
Bethany accused me of stealing him!
« I tried! But I could barely get a sentence out. »
« I’m so sorry. I never would’ve sent you there if I’d known. »
I hesitated. « You really had no idea? »
« Sarah, I’ve never even met Bethany’s boyfriend! I barely know anything about him. »
« Then why was she so sure? »
I could barely get a sentence out.
« What exactly did she show you? »
« A photograph. Some man with a woman in a coat. I barely saw their faces. »
