Divorce Has Never Felt This Good

Business was booming tonight for Louisa’s Otter Bar. The place was crowded with people who had come to see Becky and the band. Tonight’s profits would probably amount to the next week combined.

As soon as Aiken and Rory stepped foot inside Otter Bar, their eyes were drawn to the drummer onstage.

Becky was a star. Although she was only wearing a white sweater and a pair of black jeans, the spotlight was on her. She swung the drumsticks gracefully, nodding to the rhythm with swagger.

The newly opened bar was brimming with people. Although Aiken couldn’t even find a place to sit down, the music was so electrifying the he didn’t mind. The second he came in and heard the band playing, he felt like he never wanted to leave.

It wasn’t the first time Rory had seen Becky onstage. The night they played at ONE, he felt shocked and somewhat ridiculous when he first saw her playing the drums. Seeing her onstage a second time, his feelings were much more complicated than the first.

Aiken went crazy. He pumped his fists to the deafening music, which only made Rory want to leave. However, he was shuttled closer to the stage by the raving crowd.

Seeing Becky up close made him stop in his tracks. He looked at the woman behind the drums, her white sweater complimenting her delicate skin perfectly. She looked like a queen onstage, controlling the mood of the crowd at will. Her raised eyebrows were full of confidence and pride.

For some inexplicable reason, Rory felt that this side to Becky was extremely alluring.
