First Alice and now Jessie the only thing she could turn to keep her mind at bay was work. With the exception of Kit and sometimes Tina they were the only ones who reached out to her just to say hi or see how she was doing. Although, she wanted to she never went into detail about what was going on between she and Alice. To help pass the time in the past week she managed to put in over an additional 40 hours in overtime. She also turned to her job to help stay clear of any temptation that would cause her to fall victim to temptation. Savanna made no qualms about letting her know if given the opportunity she would slop her up like a biscuit! She made it easy, was accessible, and let it be known she was at her disposable. Smart, beautiful, strong, loved sports, kids, and they shared the same interest she posed a major threat. Every time they spoke she discovered something knew and truth be hold no matter how hard she tried to convince herself otherwise there was nothing to hate about the woman. Jessie believed they had slept together and as a result their friendship suffered. Standing their being accused of course she was angry but like the other twenty things in her life Jessie name could be added to the list of things she missed. Shaking her head hoping it would clear her mind she returns to processing the stack of files.
