"Good. That's really great. I'm glad he's good."
We were all quiet for a minute.
"So when you say good..." I let my voice trail off. "Is he seeing anyone right now?" That's what I really wanted to know. I wanted to know if he had moved on.
"What does seeing someone even mean these days? Am I right?" Marie laughed awkwardly.
"Does that mean he is?"
"Bee. It's been six months," Marie said. "You need to move on too."
He's seeing someone else?My chest hurt. I took another sip of wine. I wasn't sure why I was surprised. He had moved on while he was still engaged to me. But the more time passed, the more I thought about the good things and not the bad. I missed him. Imissed what we used to be. He had promised me that he'd never leave me.
"So, what is this Mason guy like?" My voice sounded small. I wanted to move on too. I wanted to be able to heal.
"He's super handsome," Carter said and laughed.
Marie rolled her eyes. "He's fun. I think he's exactly the kind of guy you should be dating right now."
"So he's gross?"
"No. He just knows how to have a good time. He's always the life of the party. Like I said before, he's charming."
"Is he friends with Patrick too?"
"Not that I know of." Marie looked at Carter.
"I don't think they've ever met," Carter said.
"Okay. I'll do it."
