*Olivia*
Ethan and Alexander glared at each other from across the table as if they were participating in an old-fashioned
western standoff. | rolled my eyes because | could practically see the testosterone wafting off of them.
Then, without another word, Ethan got up from the table and left the restaurant, completely ignoring the tea our
server had just brought him.
Once | watched him leave the restaurant, | sighed in relief and collapsed back into my seat. My back was cold
from the sweat that had dried during my twith my ex-husband. It seemed like Ethan was becoming more
unhinged than usual. When we were married, he was overbearing and domineering, but he wasn’t crazy. Had his
twith Chloe driven him off the deep end? Apprehension filledwhen | imagined my future encounters with
him.
As | contemplated this, | assumed that Alexander would leave, too, but he actually got our server's attention. |
noticed that her eyes widened when she saw that | was sitting with a different man now-especially since Ethan
had lied and said that he was my husband-but she thankfully didn’t comment.
“Can we please have two bacon and cheese omelets with a side of fresh fruit and two iced vanilla latte’s?” he
asked and set down his cup of tea. “I think we are going to need something stronger than our tea.”
After the server left, | gazed at Alexander gratefully. “Thank you,” | murmured.

| didn’t know what exactly | was thanking him for-ordering breakfast, helping drive Ethan away by his mere
presence and sticking up for me, or just staying at the table with me.
But | didn’t have to explain my gratitude. Alexander just nodded in understanding, and we shared a small smile.
After the server brought us our breakfast, | eagerly tucked into my food and sipped on my latte. The caffeine
helped with my pounding headache, and the hearty food quieted down my growling stomach. When | reached
over to pick up a green grape, | noticed that Alexander hadn't touched his food, and he was staring atwith
an amused expression.
“What?” | asked and picked up my napkin, afraid that | had something on my face.
He leaned forward and steepled his fingers together. “You're so cute when you get angry. You get a little
indentation in your forehead, and your eyes narrow into slits. | also enjoyed you yelling at Ethan. It was nice to
be the one that you weren't arguing with for a change.” He took a long sip of his drink, and the ice cubes rattled
against the glass cup. The way his Adam's apple bobbed up and down made my mouth dry for sstrange
reason. “I liked teaming up with you against your ex- husband. We should do it again sometime.”
| rolled my eyes at his teasing, but | couldn’t help but laugh and blush as I recalled the fact that he had called me
cute.
Then, a heavy weight fell onto my shoulders, as | remembered last night. | put down my fork and cleared my
throat. As my pulse quickened, | forced myself to look into his eyes even though that was the last thing that |
wanted to do right now.
“Listen, about last night, um, I’m sorry for my...drunken behavior,” |
told him.
