Divorce Has Never Felt This Good

“Becky, that was awesome!” Jessie exclaimed excitedly.

It took Becky no effort to put Monica and Mara in their place. The cars Becky recommended to them were way more than what they could afford. But they had talked big just now in front of everyone in the store, so not buying one of them would only humiliate them. Jessie guessed they wouldn’t be so cheeky with Becky from now on.

In high spirits, Becky suggested brightly, “Let’s have lunch together!”

But since she had a car now, she didn’t have to ride in Jessie’s car anymore.

Thinking about how embarrassed Mara and Monica were just now, Jessie was in a good mood, too. “Let’s celebrate you getting a new car. I’ll invite Fred and the others to lunch!”

“Sounds good!”

They had been a tightly knit group back in school. Now, they all happened to be in Courtbush, so it was more convenient for them to hang out now.

It was rare for Fred and Vernon to be free, so after lunch, Sara didn’t want the gathering to break up just yet. After all, they barely had time to hang out together as adults.

So she suggested that they rent a music studio for fun. The short impromptu performance that night left Jessie pining for more.

Fred glanced at Becky and said, “Sounds like a good idea.”

Vernon pumped his fist in the air enthusiastically. “Let’s do it!”
