Blackwork

by Monica Ferris

  Betsy hoped there was no one else whom Joey hated as much as he hated Ryan, because he had certainly come close to murdering the man who destroyed his career as a firefighter. But Betsy would not tell anyone about the strange confession Joey had made to her. There were enough lives already ruined by tale-bearing.

  She hoped this striking lesson about its dangers would at least prune the Excelsior grapevine.

  But she doubted it.
