in the parking lot

I wait for Laura at my car and what I assume must be hers right besides mine. I only need to wait 5 minutes but... fuuuuck she has an engagement ring on her hand. That fucker is one lucky motherfucker.

Thanks for waiting. She throws her bag into her trunk.

Congratulations of the engagement! Is Patrick the lucky one?

Yes, he proposed a year ago and we will marry this summer. Thank you so much. She seems very happy and we talk and talk and talk.

Can I ask you a question? Why did you stop responding to Patricks messages two years ago? He was pretty down because of that and to be honest has let himself go a bit too much. She finishes her bottle of water and looks at me.

That is one simple answer. He noshowed a few times and than never paid me for the last 4 sessions if I remember correctly.

He never told me that! I am so sorry. I shouldn't have brought it up.

No big deal. I reply to her. His problem not yours. I wouldn't hold that against you.

Good, because I have another question for you.
