A Friend In Need
Start Reading Nancy’s Story Here.
Nancy chewed her bottom lip. Fawn, the girl trying to steal Ted away from her, as her room-mate. She had to think about this.
“Nance?” Ted’s chest vibrated underneath her cheek.
“Give me a minute.” A minute, that was all she had. What were her choices?
Say no. Knowing Ted, he couldn’t turn Fawn away. He’d have to let her stay with him. They were friends already. With Fawn so determined and living with him, it wouldn’t be that difficult for her to push the next step. She’d be giving Ted to Fawn. No way did she want to do that.

Other than him, he must mean, but Nancy didn’t point that out. Ted was right. Despite Stanley’s preferences, Fawn wouldn’t be as comfortable rooming with him as a female friend.
“What about your friend Anne?”
Her friend Anne. Her very new friend Anne. However… Anne did get along with almost everyone. She was free with help, even letting Stanley dye her hair green. And something told Nancy that Anne would do this for her.
“I’ll have to call her.”
