Friday, July 28—London

Jake’s first month in London doesn’t go as smoothly as it could have. My apartment’s a bit cramped with three people living in it. We step on each other’s toes more often than not, and it isn’t exactly the romantic love nest I’d hoped for. But I can tell Amelia’s glad she isn’t alone in her darkest hours. She needs us after her confrontation with Will. She needs us after meeting with the divorce lawyers—I refer her to the best divorce counselor in town. And she needs us when the house she loves so much and has invested in so much emotionally is put on the market.

Lately, Amelia has been more cheerful than one would expect, given the circumstances, and she finally found a nice one-bedroom apartment to rent last week. She seems eager to move out of my apartment and move on with her life. She’s already moved most of her things from her old house—which sold three days after they put it on the market—to the new apartment. Right now, I’m helping her pack her last bag of clothes in my spare room before a black cab comes to pick her up in an hour.

“Are you sure you’re going to be all right on your own?” I ask her.

“Yes, I’m sure, and…”

She mumbles something unintelligible.

“What was that again?”

“I said Dylan might pop over.”

“Dylan the kisser?”

“Mmm-hmm.”

“I didn’t know he was still in the picture.”

“Well, he’s been really nice to me since, you know, I threw a mug at him.”

“Pottery-throwing is a sure way to a man’s heart.”

“Anyway, we had a drink the other night after work. And we might’ve kissed again,” she says with a mischievous smile.

There’s the reason for the positive attitude. Amelia has a crush!

“Is that the night you came home outrageously late?”

“Yep.”

“And here I was worrying they were overworking you at such a stressful time. Instead there you were making out in bars.”

“Guilty as charged. And I may have kissed him at the office a couple more times too. Or a lot more times.”

“Oh, gosh. You’re having an office romance, this is wonderful. Just what you needed after, err…”

“You mean filing for divorce and waving my ex-husband off to New York to live happily ever after with his mistress?”

“I-I, that’s not what…”

“Don’t worry, it’s okay. We can talk about it. I can even say the word divorcee without shivering too much.”

“So this Dylan guy, are we going to meet him?” I steer the conversation away from divorce talk.

“Let me see where this goes. I’m not sure if he’s a rebound fling or something more.”

“You mean you could potentially see it getting serious?”

“I’ve no idea, but he makes me feel as if I’m a teenager again. I’m kissing him all over the office, in the halls, outside the restrooms, in the copy room. It’s like making out in high school when you had to avoid being caught. It’s been so exciting, and he’s a breath of fresh air.”

“Does he have a Facebook profile?”

“Yes, why?”

“I want to see a pic.
