As long as her friend invited her to an event or asked her out to eat once a week, Roxanna believed they were already close.
But the moment she saw that her friend took her ex-husband from her, Roxanna finally realized that she was nothing more than someone being used.
The reason her friend, Lisa, always invited her out to eat was because Roxanna paid for everything. And Roxanna did it willingly, because she felt thankful just for being invited.
Whenever they attended gatherings with other people, Roxanna would sit quietly, stirring her coffee, while Lisa laughed and talked with everyone else.
So yes, this was the first time a female friend had talked this much with her, even though Roxanna felt a bit awkward.
[Friend?] Roxanna thought. [Why am I already thinking of her as my friend? We've only known each other for a few minutes.]
She shook her head slightly, scolding herself. [But… if we keep talking, would she want to be my friend?]
