The Sweet One Had a Secret

Sally was the friend who remembered every birthday. On the first night of their girls’ trip to Turks & Caicos, she leaned on the bar and told five women she’d been sleeping with a married man. Then she ordered a Hennessy and coke.

Six friends. One week. Secrets nobody packed for.
