“You took almost two hours and it was just good?” She asked in disbelief.
“Yeah.”
She rolled her eyes. “I’m going to set you up on some blind dates or maybe ask Arnoldo to see if they can get you on Love Island.”
“Mara, I will never go on a blind date or go on love island.”
“You can’t let what happened with Annalise keep you from moving on with your life, Dill.”
I sighed. She’s right, I can’t but that doesn’t mean I’ll look for love in every woman I interact with, nor does it mean I’ll be going to do blind dates or TV shows.
“Whatever,” I said and got up from my penthouse dining room table. “I’m going upstairs. Feed Pebbles for me and leave whenever you’re ready.”
“Are you upset?”
“No, I’m annoyed.” Mara does this with everyone. She magically thinks I’ll fall in love with every woman that has a pretty face and a nice smile, and as much as I wished it worked that way, it didn’t.
Annalise was definitely my biggest mistake and I hate being reminded of my mistakes.
Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.
“What is it, Ronan?” He’s been calling me all day, and I’ve been ignoring him all day. Somedays, I just don’t feel like talking to my best friend.
“I’ve been calling you since midday.”
“I know, I saw my phone ring.”
“Asshole.”
“I’ve been called worse,” I said, “What’s the problem?” Contrary to how harsh it sounds like I treat him, Ronan is definitely the best friend anyone can ever have.
“Do you believe in second chances?”
I stayed silent on the line to think. “Depends on the situation.”
“Think about it .”
Only one name came to mind and I hissed. “Ronan…..”
“I know, I know, but I’ve spent five fucking years watching her through everyone else’s eyes, I can’t live like this.”
“Five years?”
“Yes. So do you believe in second chances?”
“To be honest with you, I do, but do you think she will give that second chance? I know my cousin and what happened between the two of you hasn’t had the best effect on her, or both of you. By all means, if you think it’s a good idea, go for it.”
“Women are difficult.”
I laughed. “Are they really difficult or do we just go for the difficult ones?
He sighed. “Maybe.”
“It’s late, I’m headed to bed.”
“Lucky you, I’m on hour thirty-seven of a twenty-hour shift.”
“I’ll leave you to it then, goodnight Ronan.”
