“Alright. We don’t want our little cutie here to catch a cold.”

“You’re so cute. What do you want to eat? It’s my treat today.”
Olivia scanned her surroundings and said, “It’s been so long since we last chere. The owner didn’t change, but the decor changed quite drastically.”

Everly had a carefree smile on her face. She hid her troubles very masterfully.
“Have you ever thought about getting married? Don’t tellyou’re still hung up on Josh after so many years.”
Everly realized it had been so long since her last relationship after Olivia brought Josh up.
“Why would I be hung up on a punk like that? I have the money to be the sugar mommy for a dozen hunks.
“I don’t need his scrawny ass. I’m pretty and successful. We women really have to focus on our careers.
*Obsessing over love is not the way to live.”
