Chapter 21: Bridget
"Don't come in," Bridget said. "Please. Let me finish."
"She's finished," Joelle said from the armchair. "She's been finished since she knocked."
I closed the door behind me and stood against it.
Bridget's pink coat was wrinkled.
Her hair hadn't been washed in days, and she had chewed her lip bloody.
There was no ring light, no lipstick and no white teeth.
She looked ten years older than the girl in the ballroom.
"My sponsors are gone," she said. "All fourteen. My landlord served notice on Tuesday."
"My account lost sixty thousand followers in two days, and the ones left write things I can't read."
"Daddy's lawyer won't pick up."
"The county sheriff sent two men to the house on Wednesday and took every file in his basement."
"They've frozen his pension while they investigate what he did to Heath."
Joelle's mouth twitched.
Bridget didn't see it.
"I came here to ask for something small," she said, turning her wet blue eyes to Joelle. "Just one video. Thirty seconds, with both of us on the couch."
