Female Friends

It was only a game to make friends, but when she asked if she could come over that night, I knew we’d crossed a line I wanted to cross.

I’d spent a month thinking about that night, and I told Sandra everything without filters. She listened in silence and finally said: I’m jealous. That’s how it all began.

Four glasses of wine in, Rodrigo started talking. What came out of his mouth that night changed the rules between them forever.

Rodrigo didn’t make her leave when she stayed till the end. Sofía didn’t want to ask her to. All three of them knew it, unspoken, from the moment the ballroom doors closed.
