The Bound Between Us

Chapter 25

Monica joked, “Ana, you really don’t give a damn about your hubby huh? By the way, he wasn’t ticked off about the thing at the reunion, was he?”

“Alright then, you find a spot to sit, I’ll go mingle with rny friends. If you’re not feeling it, we can take off together”

“Cool” Anastasia found a quiet corner to sit. Yhe service was top–notch, as soon as she sat down, a waiter came over with a selection of drinks.
