Catherine's POV
"So girls?" she started after a while, flashing her queen-bee smile. "You know what day it is, right?"
I nodded and answered in my head. "Friday?"
Her girls giggled, exchanging glances like I'd just told the world's dumbest joke, before saying it out together, "girl's nightttt."
My forehead creased, and I waited for any of them to give an explanation.
Sasha leaned forward. "Today is the last day of November which means we girls hang out tonight."
"Oh." I forced a smile, pretending I knew what she was talking about. "What kind of girls' night?"
"It's our little tradition," she said, drawing out the words like honey. "At the end of every month, we celebrate. Music, food, stories, drinks and," Her lips curved. "Some secrets, too."
Zoe clapped softly. "It's the best part of the month. We've done it for, like, two years straight."
Ria added, "Everyone in our circle looks forward to it."
