Chapter 219:- Friends?
Jessica waited patiently as Mara processed it, expecting questions that never came. Mara’s eyes rose from the place on her dress where she had been staring in the silence that stretched between them. Her coal-black eyes sought Jessica’s, and for the first time she noticed they were hazel. “Jessica?”
“Yes, Mara?”
“Are we friends?”
Jessica’s shapely eyebrows knitted into a sign of exquisite concern. “I don’t know. We’ve been roommates long enough.” She paused. “Would you like to be friends?”
Mara thought about it. “I’ve never had a friend before. Even in my family.”
“I’ll be your friend. Okay?”
“Okay.”
