Alexa stared, her face unreadable. "How could you be so..." I expected her to be sympathetic or angry with Gracie. "So fucking stupid?"
"What?" I asked innocently.
She crossed her arms over her chest. "You're a fucking idiot."
I searched her face for some sort of pity or kindness, but none was there. I guess bringing me to Liz was her one act of selflessness for the day.
