The Bound Between Us

Chapter 1004

Nine out of ten women suffer the same post-breakup blues.

You want to see your ex, but pride just won't let you.

Anastasia could tell Monica needed to let it all out. She nudged her, "Go on, have a good cry. You'll feel better. Like you always say, 'Men are everywhere—there's no shortage. We're not about to run out of options!"

Monica sniffled, "Where are all these men, though? Two-legged ones? That's just eunuchs. I want a three-legged man-and the third leg better be the thickest, the biggest."

Anastasia stared at her, momentarily at a loss. Was this really what heartbreak looked like?

She glanced around the café—thank goodness, hardly anyone was there to overhear Monica's wild rant.

"Anastasia, you're coming with me tonight. We're going man-hunting," Monica demanded, clinging to her hand. "He has to be hot, and good in bed. Jason? Please. All he had going for him was stamina, thick legs, and a killer body-big deal..."

Anastasia gaped, unsure if Monica was bragging or complaining. Was this heartbreak, or a humblebrag?

She couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, I get it. Your Jason-lasts forever, thick legs, great in bed, perfect body. No wonder you're so upset. Losing a gem like that is rough!"

"Gem, my ass," Monica huffed, lapsing into her hometown slang.
