#Chapter 14 – Confusion
Abby

The bar is packed when I walk in. It takes me a moment to find Leah in the crowd, but I finally see her

standing at the end of the bar with one of the waiters. I make my way over, and she doesn’t notice me

until I’m standing right in front of them.

She squeezes his butt. “See you later,” she says with a wink.

He smirks and slips past us, looking over his shoulder at Leah. I watch him go with my eyebrows

raised.

“I’m going to have fun with him later,” Leah says, wrapping her fingers around my arm. I can’t help but

laugh a little. Leah’s definitely a character, always has been.

She leads me to a nearby table with a reserved sign on it. We climb into the booth, and the minute

we’re seated, she pulls me into an exaggerated hug.

“So,” she says, leaning away from. “What’s going on? You sounded pretty urgent on the phone.”

It takes me a minute to find the words. In the meantime, she flags down a different waiter and orders us

a couple of drinks. I didn’t really plan on drinking tonight, but it would be a lie to say I couldn’t use one.

Things have been crazy recently.

“I think mine and Adam’s wedding is going to be postponed.”

“Postponed?”

“I just don’t think I’m ready to set a date. There’s too much going on right now. I’m thinking maybe we

could have a long engagement.”

“Does he think so too?”

“I don’t know. We haven’t actually talked about it in a lot of detail.”

Leah’s eyebrows go up. “Are you really going to get married? It’s not like you’ve been seeing Adam

that long.”

I nod. The waiter appears with my glass of wine, and I take it gratefully. Leah watches me sip from the
