It had been a long night. She could see that her friend was disappointed with how her date turned out. But they both knew they could not force a connection if it did not exist.
It just would not work out.
But what if it was the other way around? How could she stop it? Not wanting the feelings her husband kept stirring inside her.
She hates him. That's it.
That was the only connection they had, a long, painful history of regret.
"Jill, are you sure you are ok?" She truly felt bad for her. She knew her friend expected this date to work. But sometimes, things did not happen according to plan, no matter how much she wanted it.
"Don't worry, Saige. I am glad I discovered we didn't have chemistry before I truly fell for him." Her friend's voice sounded disappointed but not entirely heartbroken.
It was not as if Jill had already poured her heart into this date, only her hope. She guessed her friend could bounce back from this.
