#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

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
