After suffering a dizzy spell in the bathroom at SexyFlow, I managed to pull myself together and walk back outside.

“It’s about time,” sniffed Marina upon seeing me. “My hair is drenched now, and I have a lunch date this afternoon. I need to get out of here sooner rather than later, if you don’t mind.”

I was numb now with shock. I couldn’t even feel hatred towards the woman for her rudeness.

“My apologies,” I said in a quiet voice. “I’ll get right to it.”

With that, I pulled out the hairdryer and fortunately, the noisy machine prevented any more conversation. I gave Marina Alpern the best blow-out of her life, but being a skinflint, she merely shrugged after it was done and left me a three-dollar tip.

“Thanks,” she said, picking up her fur coat and draping it about her thin shoulders. “This will do.”

With that, she swept outside, got into her car, and zoomed off with a mighty roar. Missy turned to stare at me with wide eyes.

“What the hell was that?”

I was too numb to feel anything at that moment.

“I have no idea, but I hope she never comes back.”

“Me too,” murmured Missy. “What a bitch.”

I smiled halfheartedly and threw myself into work for the rest of the day. I wouldn’t let myself think about Patrick, his soon-to-be-bride, and his impending nuptials. I forced myself to focus on my customers, and probably provided the most attentive service they’ve ever had, even if in the back of my mind, thoughts about Patrick with Marina Alpern churned non-stop.

Now, I’m back home after an exhausting day, and I collapse on the bed. Georgie and my dad are already asleep fortunately, and as I lay on my faded pink bedspread, hot tears begin to slip down my face. What the hell? How can Patrick be getting married to her? It’s an absolute nightmare.

The hurt and betrayal in my chest cause my heart to contract painfully, and with trembling fingers, I pick up the phone. I have to talk to someone about this, otherwise I’m going to have a breakdown.

“Hey girl,” Eloise’s voice sounds out from the other side. “What’s going on? I have a hot date tonight, but you caught me just as I was stepping out the door.”

“Oh sorry. I can call back later,” I mumble.

But my friend can hear the distress in my voice and her voice sharpens immediately.

“Hey, are you okay girlfriend? You’re sounding a little shaky there.”

“No, I’m fine,” I say, taking a deep breath. “I can tell you about it tomorrow.”

But Eloise and I have been friends since forever, and her voice takes on a firm tone.

“You know what? I have plenty of time. The guy I’m meeting tonight is from Tinder, and he’s not that good-looking. Plus, he has a cat too, and I’m not a fan of cat guys, so I’d rather talk to you.”

Tears fill my eyes at my friend’s generosity.

“Thank you, Eloise,” I say as my voice cracks with sorrow. “It’s just that … well, Patrick’s getting married.
