After everyone got out of the car, Megan noticed Yolanda was staying fairly calm and tried to comfort her. “At least you still have money. Men really are no good.”

Yolanda laughed suddenly. “Don’t forget, Ian’s still here.”

Megan quickened her pace and swiped her card to enter the apartment. “Ian doesn’t count. He’s two years younger than you, still an innocent kid, doesn’t understand all the messy stuff in a marriage.”

Megan was twenty–seven and had married young too.

While pressing the elevator button, she complained to Yolanda, “Most men can’t resist cheating once they have some money. I thought your husband might be different, since you’ve known him so long. And he’s never been short of women, right?”

Yolanda cleared her throat. “Megan, let’s not talk about that.”

Even though Ian was younger, he was still a man. And he was at an age where he could still have romantic illusions–Yolanda didn’t want to poison that.

Megan zipped her lips and opened her apartment door. The place was about 800 square feet, fairly clean. In pricey Beloris, the rent wasn’t cheap either.

Yolanda, used to taking care of everything as a full–time housewife for the past two years, patted the seat next to her and looked at Ian.

“Take a seat,” she said.

Megan brought them coffee, her eyes shining. “Yolanda, so now that love’s gone, you’re focusing on your career? When we first set up this studio, it was so impressive. Several directors even promoted us on Twitter,”
