"Are you talking about your hopes, or Brad's?"
I give her a dirty look. "I'm serious, this won't be fun."
She reaches out and squeezes my hand, a sad smile on her face. “I’m sorry sweetie. I know it’s got to be hard on you.”
I give her a half smile back.
Alex pulls up in my driveway, I thank them for the ride and give Remi a hug and kiss. Then, on impulse, I lean over the front seat and give Alex a kiss on the cheek. “You’ve heard me talk about sexy ex and fantasizing about a cop I’m working with. I feel as though we are close enough for cheek kisses now.”
He turns and smiles at me. “I would agree.”
Then I go inside fully prepared to open another bottle of wine and drown my sorrows about Brad in the hot tub that he bought for me.
