As Leanne passed by, she snatched Joy's sunglasses and put them on herself.
Joy "What?" Joy crumbled her cool façade in a second. "I'm standing here looking all hot and are you not even phased? And you take my shades!" "They're only worth taking if they're on someone hot." Leanne teased, "Do I look hot?" Draped in a caramel-colored coat, the color set off her features perfectly. With oversized. shades on her petite face, she looked like a celebrity hitting the streets, absolutely stunning.
"You're killinghere, not gonna lie," Joy pouted, then coaxed, "Con, givea kiss!" Leanne pushed her away playfully, "Oh, con, don't do that." Inside the car, Joy held out her hand expectantly, bragging, "How about this ride? Lost a bet to my boss and now I get to drive it for a few days. Cool, right?" Leanne handed her shand sanitizer, "You'll probably make a fortune gambling. someday." The thing about Joy was her uncanny luck with bets. It worked like a charm, but only for bling.

Being a doctor, she was used to getting calls from unknown numbers. Patients often called for advice after appointments. Without much thought, she picked up. "Suzan?" Leanne's smile faded a touch.

I told it's too much, but Devin insisted and now there's a whole shindig." in sounded quite resigned. Leanne, not particularly keen, stayed silent.
The thing was, Devin and his friends treated Suzan quite differently than they did Leanne. Devin and Suzan had grown up together, after all.
