"Not bad," Adair said, smirking. "Life's been great since leaving you. My new boyfriend is tall, handsome, and still in college. He's way better than you in every way."

Elara said, "Why are you two standing here instead of going inside? Has our law firm suddenly run out of space for conversations?"

"You didn't seem to think that when you used to like me," he quipped, smirking.
