  “Okay.” Vicki’s tone was full of “if you say so but I think you’re wrong.” “For what it’s worth, my advice is to talk this over with Chandler. I’m sure he’ll tell you the same thing. Do not take this job.”

  “Wow, don’t hold back. Tell me how you really feel.”

  “I always do.” Her friend smiled. “And just so you know, I want to look over those divorce papers before you sign anything. This time things will run smoothly or you’ll know why.”

  “Thank you, Vicki.”

  “So you’re not mad at me?”

  “Why would I be?” Rose protested.

  “For telling you what I thought. I know you didn’t want to hear that.”

  “I count on you.”

  “So we’re okay?” her friend asked.

  “Absolutely.”

  That was completely true and Rose valued this woman’s opinion more than she could say. But she was going to break the unbreakable rule about automatically taking your best friend’s advice. Rose just hoped there wouldn’t be an “I told you so” in her future.
