“Butt out, Claudia, I want to talk to my wife.”

Tears now stream down Lindsay’s cheeks. Wow. She’s still in love with him. She croaks out, “I’m not your wife anymore. Your decision, not mine. Just go with your friends.”

He pauses for a moment before he eventually nods and leaves the room.

Lindsay starts sobbing into Claudia’s waiting arms. I mouth to Claudia, “Where are the shot glasses?”

She points to a cupboard. I open it, grab three shot glasses, and then fill them with tequila.

Lindsay and Claudia pull apart, and I hand them each a glass. “Lindsay, I promise the pain eventually goes away and something much better comes along. When I see my ex-husband now, I find myself wondering what I ever saw in him. I feel absolutely nothing for him, and we have a child together.”

I hold up my glass with theirs. “To moving on.”

ONE HOUR LATER

The three of us are giggling hysterically. I shake my head. “No Claudia, you’re Dorothy. I’m Rose and Lindsay is Blanche.”

Claudia pouts. “Did you even watchThe Golden Girls? You’re Sophia. I’m Blanche.”

I think for a moment. “Then who’s Lindsay?”

Lindsay smiles. “All I know is that Seb is Stan, the douchebag ex-husband.”

Now we’re practically on the floor laughing.

The men walk into the kitchen. Dominic gives me a sexy smile.Fuck, he’s so hot.

The men all start chuckling.

I cover my mouth. “Did I say that out loud?”

Dominic nods as he makes his way to me, grinning widely. He wraps his arms around me. I think he intends on giving me a quick kiss on the lips, but I grab his neck and deepen the kiss. I can taste the bourbon and cigars on his tongue. I love that taste. It’s so Dominic.

I mumble into his mouth. “Take me home and fuck me senseless.”

His eyes widen and he covers my mouth. Everyone else is laughing.

“How much have you had to drink, princesa?”

“Just a few shots. Seven or eighty.”

He smiles and nuzzles his face into my neck.

Claudia says, “Aww, remember when we were like that, Kev?”

Kevin grabs her and dips her. “We still are.” He kisses her long and hard.

They laugh into each other as he pulls her back up.

Sebastian smiles at Lindsay. “We had it pretty good for a while, didn’t we Linds?”

She gives a small smile. “We did.”

He obviously still cares for her too. Why did they get divorced?

We have a fun evening with them. Sebastian and Kevin tell me all kinds of fun Dominic stories from college, though oddly enough, there’s no mention of their time playing baseball.
