Chapter 10 Are These All Concidences.
Since finding out that I wanted to divorce Rowan, my friends had taken turns inviting me out. We had meals, went to karaoke, and shopped. Our time was well spent
I knew they were just worried that I was acting like I was fine when I was bleeding on the inside. They wanted to distract me from Rowan.
I wouldn’t deny that I did need their help. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to stop thinking about what happened in my previous Ede.
“I’ll change and head right over,” I said, hanging up. Soon, Jean sent me her location.
Half an hour later, I left the house dressed to the nines. My nightlife was about to start.
Jean had patronized almost all the bars and nightclubs in Alton City, so she knew which one had hot guys and good drinks. I had to admit that the guys she’d brought with her tonight were pretty handsome. Some of them looked like they could be celebrities.
After having a bit too much to drink, I couldn’t help dry heaving
Damn it. I’d secretly compared the men to Bown upon seeing them, so thadn’t actually interacted with them. Drinking was all I’d done.
Still, Rowan was better looking than them all. His looks and demeanor far surpassed them.
“Excuse me while I make a trip to the ladies‘ room.” I got up and headed to the restroom. One of the hot guys with us got up with me and held my arm, steadying me.
I didn’t push him away. I wanted to enjoy being cared for.
Once I was in the restroom, 1 poked my guts out. Then, I rinsed my mouth and washed my face before exiting the restroom. The hot guy was still waiting for me there. He asked, ” Can we exchange numbers?“”
“What for?” I deliberately asked.
“We can stay in touch,” he said bluntly, “You can hit me up if you ever feel lonely.”
