After the Betrayal, We Became Strangers

Synopsis

My best friend, Sophia Wells, showed up at my door, broke and desperate after getting scammed in a fake marriage. That night, my boyfriend, Charles Grant, and I helped her move into our apartment. I took her case to court to get her money back, while Charles sorted out all the messy bills and legal stuff for her. With the three of us living under the same roof, Sophia joked, "You two better not break up, or who am I supposed to stay with?" Charles glanced at her, then pulled me closer by the waist. "Keep dreaming. I'm not going anywhere," he said. Later, I got assigned to a big case with a special task force out of state, and I was gone for six months. The day I got back, before I could even put my suitcase down, I saw Charles standing in the living room. He was shirtless, and Sophia was wearing his shirt.
