Toxic Attack: Spirit of the Soul Wine Shop Mystery (A Rysen Morris Mystery Book 2) by K.J. Emrick Page B

about the way you—"
    Beatrice took hold of herself, fisting her hands, squeezing her eyes shut, and breathing for a long few seconds while Rysen stood there in complete shock. 
    "Bea," she said, "I had no idea that you were so upset about all of that…"
    "Nevermind," her friend said slowly, sighing out the word with a heavy breath.  "Just…forget it, Ry.  I didn't mean all of that.  I'm just so upset.  Worried, I guess.  I mean, all of this murder and intrigue stuff may be great for you and that Brandon guy but it's just too much for me.  I'm all worked up.  Forgive me?"
    Rysen brightened immediately.  "Of course, Bea.  I understand.  I'm just glad that Chris is going to be all right.  It shouldn't be much longer and we'll be able to catch the person behind this as soon as the police track the bank account information they found."
    "Yes," Bea said with a tired smile.  "I'm glad for all of that, too.  Listen, I have a bit of a headache.  Can we maybe catch up later?  Please?"
    "Um, sure.  Sorry, Bea.  I didn't mean to worry you."
    "It's all right.  Really.  It's just like I said.  You and I are very different people."
    "Still friends, though, right?"
    Beatrice picked up a lily in bloom and handed it to her.  "Of course.  Friends.  I'll call you later.  Promise.  I just think I need to lay down now."
    They said their goodbyes and Rysen left, still worrying about Bea.  She'd really taken all of this hard.  And she obviously wasn't as over Josh and her dating each other as Rysen had thought.  Well.  She'd have to think about that, too.  Not that it would be the final deciding factor, but she had to consider her friend's feelings, at least.
    For now, it was a bright sunny day.  The sun was out and the air was warm and scented with the nearby vineyards and the distant ocean.  Rysen breathed in the world around her and smiled. 
    Life in Cambria might not be as boring as she remembered.  From where she stood, that wasn't a bad thing.  This really was becoming home now.  Everything was unfolding around her in ways she never could have dreamed.  Some good, some bad.  Wasn't that what life was all about?
    She took another deep breath of air.  In, and out.  It felt good.
    Hello world.  Bring it on.
