“So, how’ve you been doing?”

Ben looked up at me from the round table. His hair had grown in a little. The blonde beard was cut at the same length. He wore the same plaid shirt.

How have I been?

“Well, I got laid off from the aquarium, but I’ve already got a new job.”

His light eyebrows lifted slightly. “Where?”

I wrapped my hands around the mug. “It’s a contract for Pardini Worldwide.”

The blue eyes danced with excitement. “That’s great, Nat!”

My eyes narrowed a bit at the use of my pet name. I didn’t want him to act like nothing was changed between us. “What did you want to talk about?”

He flinched at my tone and I saw him retreat into himself. “I wanted to talk about us.”

“Were you thinking about us during all those dates?”

His eyes widened with shock. Yes, Ben. I noticed the Facebook photos. As if you thought I wouldn’t.

“I was trying to get over you,” he said with an edge in his voice. “Can you blame me for trying to move on?”

Fine. Didn’t mean I couldn’t be pissed about it.

He shook his head. “Maybe I was angry that you’d throw away our relationship over Jessica.”

“I dumped you because you lied to my face. I told you something in confidence and the first person you blabbed to was a journalist. Then you denied it.”

Why did I come here?

“I know and I’m sorry, but I still can’t believe you’d throw everything away after everything we’ve been through together.”

“Actually, I came here to figure out whether I made the right decision. I’m pretty sure I did.”

“Natalie, come on!”

“You’re not sorry. You’re sorry you got caught.”

“Will you please just give us another chance?”

“Nope. Goodbye.”

The disappointment that flared in Ben’s eyes mingled with anger. It surprised me.

And good riddance.
