The phone kept vibrating in her hand. She looked at the caller ID and rolled her eyes.
Of course. One of her old clients.
Sharona swiped to pick up.
"What?" she snapped.
"Sharona?!" the woman shrieked so loudly Sharona had to yank the phone away from her ear. "HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEWS?! How the hell could you be so careless?!"
"What are you talking about, Dahlia?"
"What news?" Sharona snapped, pacing as Dahlia's panic screeched through the line.
"Just check your damn phone. And for the record," Dahlia hissed, suddenly cold and venomous, "I had NOTHING to do with you. I've never met you. Never seen you."
The call cut off abruptly.
Sharona unlocked her phone with trembling fingers.
A link sat at the top of her messages. She already knew she wouldn't like what waited on the other side, but she clicked anyway.
A loading circle spun… and then her world split open.
Her breath stopped.
