You’venever been through a break up?

Rosalie:

Notreally.I’vehad boyfriends, sure, but it was never anything serious.Thingsalways just seemed to come to a natural end once the relationship had run its course.

Jack:

Maybe.Ormaybe you’ve left a trail of broken hearts behind you.

Rosalie:

Verydoubtful.

Hegrinned.Hehadn’t seenRosaliecoming, but now that she’d slipped into his life, he had a feeling nothing would ever be the same.Thatregardless of what ended up unfolding between the two of them, he wouldn’t be the same.

Rosalie:

Whatabout you?Arethere a string of broken hearts in your wake?

Jack:

Afew, butI’vebeen single for a long time.

Rosalie:

Andbefore that?

Jack:

BeforethatIwas married.

Rosalie:

Oh.Soyou’re divorced?

Jack:

Yeah.Fora while now.

Rosalie:

I’msorry.Thatmust’ve been hard.

Jack:

Itwas, but it was years ago, and we’re friends now.

Guilttugged at him.Hefelt bad for not mentioningChloe, but he had a rule that he didn’t discuss his daughter with women he was…Well, it didn’t seem fair to putRosaliein the same category as his other hookups, given how he felt about her.Giventhat he wanted to see her again, given that he was texting her when he should’ve been trying to sleep.

Thisthing withRosalie, it felt right in a way he hadn’t ever experienced before.Easy, and real, and obvious.Atleast, to him.

Rosalie:

Doesshe still live in town?

Jack:

Yeah, she does.Shejust got engaged recently, actually.
