Ex-Husband's Regret
Chapter 20
Dinner date
Ava
I was a nervous wreck as I prepared for my date with Ethan. It’s been two weeks since I was discharged from the hospital and I was all better. The doctor gave me the clear and I even gotten
back to work a few days ago.
In the two weeks, a lot has changed. Letty and I have gotten closer and so has Ethan and I. He’d
asked me out a couple of days ago. I had agreed whole heartedly.
Ethan was good for my ego. He made me laugh and relax. With him I was at ease. When I was
around him I forgot about Rowan. I forgot about my broken heart.
“Hair up or down?” I ask Letty.
We were on video chat and she was helping me get ready.

I wasn’t beautiful. I knew that. Hearing everyone tell you how beautiful your sister is, nails in that fact. It also didn’t help that other parents used to tell my mother that I wasn’t poised, elegant, neat or put together like Emma was
“Yes, you are…you’re the only one who doesn’t see it. All you need is a confidence boost and I

I put my hair up in a messy bun, with loose tendrils framing my face.

“If you say so”
“I say so, now turn, I want to see how you look” she commands.
I didn’t want to go all out incase things didn’t go as planned, so I settled on a little black dress Something that I wasn’t used to. Rowan never took me out when we were married so there wasn’t any need to dress up.
I wore matching black heels and did a nude make up.
“You look amazing Ava, Ethan won’t be able to take his eyes off you” Letty says with her jaw dropped.
