Am I defending Chase?
“He was bad, all right.” His eyes darkened. “I found him in bed with the love of my life.”

“But hey, I’ve moved on,” he reassured me. “I can’t trust him, though. Never will.”
If I needed any further reason to hate Chase, there it was.

“I’m thinking of going to Rouge,” I said, feeling tipsy. “I told my friends I’d meet them there.”
“That’s in Soho, isn’t it?”
I nodded. “I like the décor, and they play sassy music, and we like to dance.”
He studied me for a minute. “Like strip, you mean?”
“Nope. It’s never that far. Just a little playful lip-syncing and hip swaying.”
“Sounds enticing. I’d like to go. That’s if you’d like me to escort you.”
He sounded so formal, but at least I hadn’t thought about Chase for an hour.
