Karl hands me a glass of water, and I take a few small sips.
I’m still a little drunk, but I feel better now that I’m away from the bar. Thank G od Karl was able to

slightly nauseous is never fun. Neither is throwing up on your ex-husbands perfectly manicured lawn

I decide to change the subject before he decides to scold me. “Why were you hanging around there?”
“For fun, I guess.” He doesn’t sound convinced. I wonder if someone else dragged him there. His
