#Chapter 26: Girl’s Night
Abby
“Seeing anyone new?” I ask Leah, trying to take a bit of the attention off me. She turns and gives me a
cheeky grin. “Always.”
“Anyone of note?”
Her smile grows. “Always.”
I don’t think Leah’s ever been in a serious relationship, and I’m confident she never wants to. I’m more
of a relationship girl myself, but sometimes I envy her. After my divorce, when I finally felt ready to date
again, I tried the casual
thing, but I hated it. I need a connection with someone that lasts longer than a night to feel any type of
attraction to them. I wonder sometimes what it feels like to be as confident and free as she is.
“What about you?” I say, turning to look at Chloe.
She looks unimpressed. “I’ve been seeing that guy, Jason. He’s nice, but it’s nothing serious. Not yet
anyway.”
I nod. Chloe hates talking about her dates. She’s determined to make the point constantly that the men
in her life don’t define her. I think that’s partly why she hates Karl so much. I think she hated how I
acted when I was with him. She doesn’t like that I gave up so much of myself for a man.
“What about you, Abby?” Chloe says. “How’s your fiancé?”
It’s the perfect segway into what I really want to talk to them about, but I suddenly feel nervous. What if
she thinks that my reservations about Adam are because of Karl? Sure, part of the issue is that I can’t
stop comparing Adam to my ex. But I haven’t had many serious relationships, and my relationship with
Karl was the most serious of all of them. It makes sense that I would use that as a reference point.
“He’s fine,” I finally answer. “Good.”
Leah gives me a look. “You don’t sound very convinced.”
I shrug. “I guess I just have some worries. Sometimes I feel like there’s not as much… passion as there
should be.” “I knew it!” Leah gives Chloe a triumphant look. “Didn’t I say they have like zero chemistry?”
“Hey!” I say, but they both ignore me. Clearly, they’ve been talking about this behind my back.
Chloe frowns. “I think zero chemistry is probably taking it a bit far. I think maybe Abby’s just been a bit
distracted lately. Maybe if certain people weren’t hovering around her all the time, she’d have more
