Divorce Has Never Felt This Good

When the song ended, Becky stepped down from the dance floor, carefully lifting the hemline of her dress so as not to trip. Devin followed her and pointed out, “I thought you said you couldn’t dance.”

Becky looked back at him and asked calmly, “Are you saying I can?”

She refused to admit that she had lied, but Devin didn’t care. Seeing her turn around to walk away, he asked, “Where are you going?”

“Washroom.”

Devin stopped in his tracks. He knew he couldn’t follow her there.

Becky cast her a sidelong glance and said flatly, “I agree with your first sentence, but not the last one.”

Jessie pursed her lips and continued stubbornly, “You two looked awesome together on the dance floor.”
