Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Mark felt a wave of awkwardness wash over him as he realized the predicament he was in. Jessica had just given him a scarf, which he had promptly unwrapped and draped around his neck. Now, Shirley had gifted him an identical one. Obviously, he couldn't wear both, so he had no choice but to pack the second one away.

The atmosphere in the room grew increasingly tense, yet Jessica seemed oblivious, her tone still innocently cheerful.

"Shirley, I think we're going to be great friends, seeing as we have similar tastes and all."

Shirley chuckled lightly. "Oh, is that so? What else do you like?"

Jessica's face stiffened for a moment, looking quite pitiful. "Are you upset with me?"

Mark took a deep breath and pulled Shirley closer. "Are you really upset? Jessie didn't mean any harm. Who could've guessed you'd end up buying the same gift? I can take hers off and wear yours, if you like?"

Shirley was on the verge of losing her temper, but then she thought of Mr. Davis and held back.

"It's fine. Making a fuss over it would just make me seem petty. Aren't we in the middle of a song? Why stop now?" She sat down, though her intentions were unclear.

Everyone else in the room was no fool. With Shirley, the official girlfriend, present, Mark singing a love song with another girl was bound to cause issues.

Before Mark could speak, Jessica wisely put the microphone down.
