Chasing His Kickass Luna Back by Jane Above Story

#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
