Linda decided to just drive on over without being asked. It was now the third day, and she wanted to get it out in the open, maybe Corinna could help her see things more clearly.
When Corinna answered the door, the surprise on her face was evident. Linda stood awkwardly, until she said, very softly, “Can I come in?”
“Of course, come right in,” Corinna replied. “Would you like a coffee, I just have a fresh pot brewed up.”
”I’d love a cup, cream, and 1 sugar please.”
”Sit, relax, we can have our coffee in the living room. They don’t call that table a coffee table for no reason!”
She giggled, the went back into the kitchen to get the coffee.
Linda was startled. They both been raped 3 days ago, and yet, Corinna was looking happy, healthy, confident, like nothing had happened to her.
Corinna brought in the cups and saucers, and they relaxed on the big sofa. Corinna pretty well guessed what Linda was there for, and said, gently, “How are you coping?”
Linda said, “Not very well. I put off Brice with the “red curse” excuse, I couldn’t face sex so soon afterward.”
