Gage chuckled at that.

"Your tone. Hey, I miss you" He changed the subject.

"I miss you too." Paula's frown changed to a big, sheepish smile.

"I won't tell you. But you already know I'm here with my friend to comfort her and until she gets better, I'll be with her."

"What happened to her?"

Gage asked and I glared at Paula again.

"She just broke things off with her husband because he cheated and had a baby outside the marriage" Paula skillfully explained and I let out a breath I didn't know

His voice sounded a bit sad.

"No, I'll be back soon" She giggled and assured him.

"You're sure?" He asked again like a love struck fool. I instantly became jealous of them.

Why couldn't mine had been like there's?
