The next morning Vanessa came over unexpectedly.
She looked calm.
Too calm.
Our eyes met.
For a moment I wondered if she knew.
Then she leaned closer and whispered quietly.
"Be careful what you assume."
My heart skipped.
Did she know I had seen the messages?
Or was she just testing me?
Her smile didn't look friendly anymore.
It looked like a warning.
And suddenly I realized something important.
This situation might be more dangerous than I thought.
Why would she warn me like that?
