Chapter 65 – Linda

Linda

This date is a disaster, and I regret putting so much effort into my outfit before leaving my house.

I curled my hair. It’s coming down in blonde waves, and I matched it with a black dress, which is rare. I never wear dresses but wanted to look nice for my birthday. Which I do.

Still, I plaster on a smile. “I see…”

“Are you a brave girl?”

“Umm…” I can’t help but breathe a laugh and look up from my menu this time. ”

Excuse me?”

Davin wags his eyebrows at me. He isn’t the best-looking guy, but what can you expect at thirty? Everyone good is taken.
