Chapter 35

Laura

Laura walked into Sandy's and was glad to see the place was mostly empty. It wasn't quite lunchtime yet, so the usual crowds weren't there. She'd dropped the kids off for their last day at school and headed over to the one place she knew would have comfort food and a friend.

“Hey you,” Elena greeted her from the bar as she walked up. Elena's smile faded as she looked at Laura. “What's the matter?”

“I think I broke up with Ethan,” Laura told her. The words felt like daggers driving into her heart.

“What?” Elena asked. She quickly walked around the bar and wrapped her friend up in a hug. “What happened?”

“I freaked out because he was on an airplane,” Laura explained. “Like super freaked.”

“Okay...” Elena let her go, motioning to two bar stools. Together they sat down to talk. “How did that lead to you two breaking up?”

Laura shrugged. It sounded stupid now, but she still felt mad about the whole thing. “He's going to be traveling a lot,” she explained. “He has to go back and forth between here and California. I can't handle it. I lose it just thinking about what could happen on the plane.”

“You know planes are safe, right?” Elena asked. “He's fine.”

“Oh, your right,” Laura replied, putting as much sarcasm into her voice as she could without snarling. “Soooo safe. By the way, how are your parents, Elena?”

“Whoa, Laura,” Elena held up her hands defensively. “I'm not trying to attack you.”

Laura sighed and ran her hands through her hair. “I know. Sorry.”

“It's okay,” Elena assured her. “So you told him this?”

Laura nodded. “Yeah. I told him we needed to take a break. That we were going too fast.”

“Okay. How'd he respond?” Elena asked.

“He kissed me,” Laura replied. “He said he didn't want to take a break. But, I made it clear that was what was happening.”

“Then what?” Elena asked. Laura couldn't read her expression.

“He said okay and left. He just walked off. It was two days ago, and he hasn't called me or anything,” Laura told her. Her throat tightened, and she played with a napkin left on the bar. “Did I do the right thing?”

“Did you do the right thing?” Elena snorted. “You pushed away a great guy you not only thinks you're the bee's knees, but he also doesn't care that you have kids. He actually likes your kids. Not to mention he's got a good job, to put it mildly.”

Laura's mouth dropped open. This was not the reaction she was expecting from her friend.

“And you're telling me that you gave him up because he gets on a plane once in a while?” Elena continued. “There are way, way more dangerous jobs out there that deserve this reaction. The problem is all in your head, Laura.”

Anger flared up in Laura's chest, hot and fierce. She crumpled the napkin and wished she had the power to light it on fire with her mind.

“You know I love you, Laura,” Elena said shaking her head. “But I don't think this was the right move.
