“Not happening.”

Jessi rolls her eyes at me as she lifts her wine glass to her lips. Courtney and Jen begin their arguments at once, but their efforts fall on deaf ears. I sat here for the last hour listening to them tell me why I need to start dating. No matter how much I tell them I’m not interested, they continue to plead the case they’ve already lost.

“Look, I get what you guys are saying but I’m not interested.”

“Yeah, but Trenton is –”

Putting my hand up to halt the conversation, Jen stops talking. I don’t want to hear about Trenton dating. Honestly, I couldn’t care less if he’s dating or not. That isn’t because I’m strong and moving on. I simply have no feelings on the matter. Not marrying Trenton was the best decision of my life, and I think he’d agree.

“You guys know I’m not much of a dater. I never was before Trenton, and I’m not sure why you’d think that would change. And you,” I say, pointing at Jessi, “have been quiet all night. You’re freaking me out.”

“I told them you’d say no, but nobody listens to me.”

Now it’s my turn to roll my eyes. She’s so full of shit. Jessi is never without an opinion, so the fact that she’s taking this position has me suspect.

“Hmm?”

Turning her head quickly, her eyes are large in surprise as her lashes flutter. If I could see inside her brain, I’m sure I’d find it trying to come up with a response. “Who would I be waiting for? That’s silly.” Yep, she’s up to something.

Jessi keeps her attention away from the door for a few minutes as I quickly change the subject to a possible girl’s trip in the next few months. Everyone agrees sunshine and cabanas are a must but when I suggest we road trip the looks on each of their faces sends me into a fit of giggles.

“Come on, it’ll be fun. Besides, I’m not rolling in the dough these days. The next time I offer to pay my parents back for a cancelled wedding, kick me,” I say, looking at all three of them.

Jen rises from her chair and looks at me with a serious expression. Raising my brows in question, I wait for her to say something. “I’d suggest you don’t cancel anymore weddings. There, solved that problem.”

Nobody speaks right away, and a look of embarrassment creeps across Jen’s face before we all start laughing. Tears stream down my cheeks as Courtney snorts through her own tears. Proud of herself, Jen offers to grab another round of drinks from the bar after hitting the restroom and Courtney goes with her.

When it’s just Jessi and me at the
