Excerpt from Down London Road by Samantha Young. Copyright May 2013.
I tried to feel only gratitude as I strode past her and into the bar and tried very hard to ignore the irritation. “Joss, no.”
She followed me and I didn’t even have to look at her to know she’d be wearing the mulish expression she used to reserve for when people asked her questions she didn’t want to answer. “Why tell me these things unless you want a solution?”
“That’s not a solution,” I replied quietly, tying the short white apron around my waist “That’s a handout.” I shot her a smile to soften the blow of my words.
My friend clearly wasn’t having any of that tonight. “You know it took me a long time to figure out that we can’t do everything on our own.”
“I’m not on my own. I have Cole.”
“Okay.” Joss shook her head and took another step in my direction. I turned toward her slightly, my stomach flipping at the edge in her voice. “I’m just going to say it.”
Brace yourself, Jo.
