Chapter 13

Sarai

Sarai ordered more flowers and put together a new bouquet. She didn’t even charge the bride for it. The flowers were beautiful. The bridal party was thrilled, and Sarai walked away with a fat check. She returned to the shop to check her book and found another wedding. It was still three months away, which meant she wouldn’t even have to start doing anything with the flowers for it. She wrote Mickey’s job in bold letters across the booking and then closed the book and closed early. She had to get ready for the race at the end of the week. She took a run around the block and then up through the park. The park passed right by the gym. She picked up her pace as she ran past. Then she called Mickey to come get her so she wouldn’t have to run by there again.

“I have an idea.” Mickey said as she got in the car. “Why don’t I go talk to him, find out what he has to say? I feel you should hear him out.”

“I don’t want to hear him out.” She stated.

“What if it was a big misunderstanding?”

“I don’t care. I’ve moved on. I’ve got to get focused for this marathon this weekend. I don’t have time to think about him.”

“Ok, but just so you know, if he comes in the shop looking for you, I’m going to talk to him. And for the record, I think you’re being stupid about this whole thing.”

“Just drive! I didn’t ask you for your opinion, Mickey.”

“I’m your best friend, that’s what I’m here for. I’m not just going to stand by and let you ruin what could be the best thing in your life.”

“I don’t have time for guys who live in a fucking fantasy world. I live in the real world.”

“I always thought you were open-minded. I mean, it’s not like he told you he’s a dragon or anything. There are cultures and societies that still have old fashioned values. Why is that so hard for you to comprehend? We’re not rich, we’ve never been rich, we don’t know what goes on in rich people’s lives. We don’t know that they don’t all have arranged marriages. Your statement about only old-time royalty doing that is bogus and you know it. A lot of religious groups and cultures have arranged marriages. It’s not that uncommon, Sarai.” She didn’t even pause to take a breath before going on. “Rich people don’t want the poor and uneducated mingling with them, that’s a known fact. So, it’s not that surprising that they want certain bloodlines kept intact.”

“You weren’t there. You didn’t hear the insanity he was spouting.”

“No, I wasn’t, but you didn’t have a level head at the time. You were angry and didn’t want to process what he was saying. I think you owe him.”

“I owe him. I owe him?” Sarai was shocked by what her friend was saying. “He used me, he had sex with me, and then discarded me.
