Lost Me Gained Regret

Stepping out the door, I immediately spotted Christine's car.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

I flashed a bright smile as I hopped in..

With a mysterious grin, Christine started the engine. "I understand."

Buckling up, I felt a slight blush creeping up my face at the topic, especially since I was the subject of the discussion.

Eager to change the subject, I asked, "Tell me the truth, have you really given up on Dailey?"

Raising her hand as if taking an oath, Christine replied, "As true as it gets, truer than the most genuine pearls." That settled it for me.

I'd wait to see what Dailey's intentions were before bringing up anything.

...

Dailey had been waiting at the hillside café all day.

But Christine never showed.

He thought the tea would calm his nerves, but it only seemed to fuel his frustration further.
