CHAPTER EIGHT

Annie awoke feeling like death the next morning. Her mouth was parched with thirst, her eyes puffy from crying, and she purposely avoided the bathroom mirror so she wouldn’t have to see just how terrible she looked. Instead, she headed straight into the shower and did her best to wash away the evidence of her self-pity session.

Fortifying herself with caffeine first, she finally braved a look in the bathroom mirror and almost broke down crying again. Her eyes were indeed as puffy and swollen as they felt, and she looked like someone had used her face as a punching bag. Reaching for her phone, she sent a text to her boss, letting her know that she wasn’t feeling well and wouldn’t be able to make it into the office.

She padded into the bedroom to get her down comforter and favorite pillow and headed back into the living room where she curled up on the couch and flipped on the TV and her Blu-Ray player. Deciding to have a romantic comedy movie-thon, she started with her all-time favorite, While You Were Sleeping.

She started sniffling and wiped at her eyes when Lucy almost married Peter in the hospital chapel after he awoke from a coma, just to have his brother Jack object to them marrying because he’d fallen in love with her during Peter’s coma and wanted to marry Lucy himself. Where’s my Jack to fight for me? Swiping the tears away, she sighed and told herself he was out there somewhere — that there had to be someone who wouldn’t hesitate to put her first.

Next up was Notting Hill, which brought a fresh round of tears when Will ran off to find Anna at her press conference and told her he’d been a “daft prick” and asked if she’d reconsider staying in London. In that moment, she couldn’t help squeezing her eyes shut and wishing for Gabe to magically show up at her doorstep, telling her he’d been a “daft prick” and that he wasn’t going to get back together with Genevieve. But knowing her luck, that was never going to happen.

The Wedding Singer wrapped up her movie-thon, and she cried yet again when Robbie followed Julia to Las Vegas and serenaded her on the airplane with Billy Idol, singing that he just wanted to grow old with her. It reminded her of Gabe singing to her in the outdoor bathtub in Phoenix and her heart ached at the memory. She still sharply felt the loss of the man who, until yesterday, had the potential to be the love of her life. Her phone suddenly beeped to alert her that she had an incoming text message and she reluctantly reached for it to see who it was from.
