Close Enough (High Rise Novella Four) - Plot & Excerpts
She cradled the bag with two of Nat’s favourite egg sandwiches from The Bean in one hand and stabbed the elevator button with the other. She’d stayed at the after-party at Volt following Nat’s book launch until two a.m. before giving in to fatigue and, frankly, the overwhelming feeling that Nat didn’t want her there. She’d ended up going home alone, leaving Nat with a slew of giggling admirers. She had wanted to be the bigger person, a mature woman immune to bouts of jealousy. She had wanted to act her age—a wise almost fifty—but she’d had enough. And it had hurt like hell. Still, she felt as if she had to make up for it now. She pushed the button for the forty-second floor while her heart thundered in her chest. Knowing Nat, she’d probably ignore the fact that Isabella fled her party, shoot her a crooked smile and gather her in her arms. Nat was really good at pretending things never happened. Isabella was starting to get the hang of it as well, despite it not being a quality she wanted to possess.
