1 can go to a club without him, he trusts me." I'm giving a subtle dig at his past possessive behavior towards me.

But why bother, he doesn't remember. Then a voice besidesounds as hands almost pulloff the bar stool.

"Winona! Yay! Cover to our old booth! Hi Jayden."

"Hi Lisa."

"Sure. Let's go." Then she looks back at Jayden. "Sorry, secret women's business. No insult meant."

"None taken," he says. "Go ahead. I'm catching up with Lance, anyway."

Catching up with Lance? Has Lance planned this?

Lisa and | slide into the sold booth we always reserved next to each other. Sthings never ‘change, |

see you again. I've really missed you. Missed us." | say so she doesn't feel like | don't

want to be with her.

"I'm so sorry | didn't call you more often." She looks sad. "I mean, I've missed you too. So much has happened. |

"Lisa, it wasn't your fault we never kept in touch. In fact, you dida favor."

1 did? How?"

"I can't talk about that right now, but | need to tell you real soon." | give her a hug. "I promise we're still

best friends."

She breaks the hug, frowns and looks down at her drink before taking a large sip from the straw. "About that |

"Oh, you've finally cto drink at the peasant's booth." Lance interjects as he lumbers back with Jayden

in tow.

"Only if you go getanother," | say.

You got me. Still quick, | see," Lance grins. "I'll get us all another round, like the old days. Take a seat, Jayden."

"Far be it forto choose a lady friend over my best friends," Lance jokes.

We all give a laugh. "Wow. Like that's ever bothered you before."

"Okay, so she left with her friends. But | could have gone too. Tilly invited me," Lance defends.

"Sure." Lisa gives another laugh. "I bet they'll miss your dad jokes all night."

I'm offended and | feel attacked."

"I will attack you if you don't go and get the drinks." Lish grins at him and pushes her empty glass at him." Sit

down, Jayden, you're making the place look untidy." Jayden glances atand slides in across from me. "Hey."

"Hey."

Well, this is awkward.

"Um...not to be nosy," Lisa says. "But... Why are you out alone, Jayden?"

"I'm a grown man."

Lisa gives a giggle. "Yup, a grown ass man who never goes anywhere without Ashlyn glued to his side." Then she

clamps her hand over her mouth for a second. "Oh shoot, did I say that out loud?"

| try not to laugh because Jayden looks pissed. I'm kind of enjoying that.

"So, stop shittingand tell the truth," Lisa demands quietly.

"We're taking a break." Jayden says with a

frown. "No big deal."

Taking a break? What the Hell? I'm speechless.

"Taking a break? Yeah right. So, the big wedding is off? Why?"

I'm not really sure why Lisa is so interested.

"I never said it was off and that is mine and Ashlyn's business." Jayden glares at her.

"Is it because Winona is back in town? Are you having memories?" Lisa continues questioning him. "I bet you are

and you want my girl here again, right?"

Boy, she really is drunk.

Lisa, | think that's enough questions. Jayden has a right to privacy."

Next minute, Lance is back with the drinks and he sits beside Jayden. The silence is loaded.

"So, what did | miss?" Lance asks obliviously to the mood surrounding him.

Lisa goes to say something and | put my hand on her arm, stopping her. "Nothing much. Just catching up. Thanks

for the drinks," | say.

Thankfully Lisa takes my hint and says nothing. We all take a long sip. Lreally have no clue what to say at this

point.

"Well, isn't this fun?" Lance is being sarcastic again.

"Is this bitch the reason you want to take a break?" Ashlyn is now! pointing her finger atwhile glaring at

Jayden.

"Oh my God!" Lisa exclaims. "Shit just got real."
