I bit my lip. “Was that the main reason?”

“Don’t you remember the night we met?” he asked. “We were both trying to avoid crazy ex-girlfriends. I believe mine Claudia and yours was Yvonne.”

“Fuck,” I groaned. “Yvonne.”

“Remember her?”

I snorted. “Of course, I fucking remember her,” I said. “She practically stalked me for three weeks after I ended things with her. I think she thought her persistence would be attractive.”

“How’d you finally get her to stop following you around?” Jason asked.

“She saw me making out with Reese Tanner.”

Jason laughed. “That’s right… I remember Reese.”

“You should,” I said. “You hooked up with her a few weeks later.”

He laughed. “Ah, the good old days.”

“Quite frankly, I’m glad the good old days are behind us. Girlfriends are not something you and I should have in common.”

“Speaking of ex-girlfriends, I ran into someone from your past recently,” Jason said.

I suppressed a groan. “Who was it?”

“Faith.”

“Faith,” I repeated. “How’d you run into her?”

“I was at this club with a few work colleagues, and she stepped up to the bar beside me. She recognized me immediately.”

“How is she?”

“Seems to be doing well,” Jason replied. “She’s practicing law now… And, she asked about you.”

By the tone of Jason’s voice, I knew there was more to the story. “What did she say about me?”

His tone was amused. “She might still be a little sore at you.”

“For the breakup?” I asked incredulously. “That was years ago.”

“But apparently, it still stings,” Jason said. “She certainly didn’t seem to be thrilled by your success.”

“She’s certainly not the only one,” I sighed.

“Well you can’t really blame her, can you?” Jason said. “You did cheat on her.”

I closed my eyes for a second. “I… There may have been a small overlap…” Jason burst out laughing at my pathetic justification. “I thought we both knew that things were not going well.”

“Except that you forgot to break up with her before moving on.”

“I was a shmuck back then,” I said. “But I’ve changed now.”

There was a second of silence on the other line. “Have you?”

“Well… I mean… Sure… Of course.”

“Because last I heard you were just jumping from woman to woman in a string of one-night stands.”
