#Chapter 35: Karl’s Idea

I weave through the tables, greeting my customers. A lot of my regulars are here tonight, and I stop at
Emily’s table. She’s here with her friends, Lunas like her. I know most of them from when Karl and I
were married.
Emily looks up at me, and I plaster on a smile. “Hi, dear,” she says, her tone as patronizing as ever.
“Wonderful food tonight.”
She gestures to her empty plate, and I wave over Freddy. He walks to us. “Clear these,” I say. He nods
and takes their plates away.
“He’s yummy,” one of her friends says, watching him stride away.
“He sure is,” Emily agrees.
She looks up at me and I force a smile. “Is there anything I can get for you guys?”
“No, dear. We’re just finishing up our drinks.” She lifts her martini to her lips and takes a sip.
“We were just talking about the Alpha party,” her friend Lauren adds. We used to make polite chit-chat
with each other at Alpha events. Now she looks at me like I’m miles beneath her. It makes my anger
flare. Luckily, I’ve gotten good at hiding my feelings, and I don’t think my smile changes when my gaze
lands on her.
“Oh, that should be fun,” I say.
“It’s really too bad you won’t be there,” Emily replies. “We miss having you at all these events.”
I seriously doubt she misses it at all. I don’t bother to tell her she might actually see me there. I’m
assuming Karl still plans to take me, but I haven’t inquired recently. We’re not exactly on good terms
now, and the thought of attending a stuffy party with him doesn’t sound all
