The message was concise.
“Where are you?”
As Stella nursed her aching temples, she replied, “I’m at a boring class reunion at Seamarsh Hotel. They’ve all been asking about you and they all think that I’m a nobody and so is my husband.

Besty quickly grabbed her arm to prevent her from falling.
“Hey, are you good?”
