Better late than never?

W called me at work. She got an e-mail from Angela and wondered if I'd e-mailed them first. I told her I hadn't, and that I'm not going to. She could tell my voice was sad.

"Don't act sad and like you're surprised. I told you when I first found out about this that it broke our trust. Did you think I was just talking about family?"

I told her yes. She specified that she doesn't want me talking to anyone whom she knew first. Direct all questions to her. This is a fairly complicated setup, because we had a ton of mutual friends in college.

Then we started talking about the weekend again, and things lightened up. "How can we go from angry to sensual so quickly, but it works?" She asked.

I'm going to talk to her again in a few minutes, make it clear that I feel terrible about the betrayal, and that making her look bad is the last thing I want to do.
