My Boyfriend and My Best Friend Betrayed Me

My night shift ended, and I took a cab to the barbecue joint.

Edwin Mason and his crowd were already deep into the meal, the table loud and warm.

My best friend Nora Fox was pressed against his side in a deep V-neck, her face flushed pink.

"Sonia Cox, you made it. Sit, sit." Nora waved me over like nothing was wrong.

I looked at the wreckage of the table, the few grilled skewers left, and mumbled an apology.

"Edwin, I want some of your grilled sausage." Nora looked at him through half-lidded eyes.

Edwin thoughtfully snapped the stick in two and held the sausage up to her lips.
