She was late and I allowed myself a little hope. Maybe she had a change of heart. Maybe she forgot. Maybe she was in jail or the ER. Horrible thoughts, I know, but all possible when it came to Mia. I ran out of sympathy for her a long time ago. You work with someone long enough, you get to know them. That’s not always good, especially when they’re blackmailing you.
