"I had one too many drinks, and since I'm not much of a drinker, I figured I'd head to my room to crash." "But I stumbled into the wrong room and, in my foggy state, ended up falling asleep next to Morris. When his dad found out, no matter how much I tried to explain, he wouldn't believe me.

How could he do this to him?" Sarah gently patted Nathalie's back, soothing her, "Ashley, don't be upset. Now he has you looking out for him. His tough times are finally over." Sarah turned to Paige, her voice firm, "This ends here. If you try to mess with Ashley, I won't hesitate to release the recording I made today." Paige's face darkened with anger. "Are you my friend or hers?" Sarah shot back coolly, "I'm on the side of what's right."
