After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#68 “You Look Absolutely Stunning Tonight.”

The early morning light filtered through the curtains as Sophia groggily navigated her way to the kitchen. Despite her accomplishments as a lawyer, there was one thing she couldn’t quite master – getting up early. She had known since her school days that she was a night owl, and no matter how hard she tried, waking up early remained a daily struggle.

Her demanding job required it, and it wasn’t getting any easier. She sighed and rubbed her eyes as she prepared her morning coffee, the aromatic brew gradually pulling her into a state of alertness. Just as she was beginning to feel more awake, her phone rang, startling her.

Sophia glanced at the screen and saw that it was Evelyn calling. Evelyn was the polar opposite when it came to morning routines – she was up and full of energy by the crack of dawn.

“Good morning,” Evelyn’s cheerful voice greeted Sophia as she answered the call. Sophia, still in the process of waking up, replied with a hint of amusement, What’s so important that it can’t wait for me to finish my coffee?”

Evelyn’s enthusiasm was undeterred. ” Oh, come on, you know I can’t contain my excitement for the concert. Let’s both get ready together.”

Sophia sighed, feeling the weight of the early hour. “Honey, I’m still half- asleep, it’s too early, the concert isn’t until tonight, and I have work to tackle before that,” she explained.

Evelyn playfully persisted, “Alright, I get it, but you should know you’re missing out on the best makeup session by resisting my offer.”

Sophia couldn’t help but chuckle at her friend’s antics. Evelyn was truly a makeup artist extraordinaire.

“I’ll take my chances,” Sophia replied with a hint of humor. “Now, I need to get to work. I’ll talk to you later.”
