My friend Sarah called, trying to drag me out for drinks with the group. "Come on," she'd said. "You can't just rot in your apartment."
She was right. Three days of marinating in my own misery was enough to suffocate anyone. Getting out sounded good.
I just didn't expect him to be there.
And I really didn't expect him to bring her. He cornered me near the bar, his new girlfriend hiding behind his arm like a frightened deer.
"Chloe," he said, his voice low and firm. "What happened between us is in the past."
He glanced back at Jenna, then looked at me again. "Jenna's not like you. She's… innocent. Her feelings get hurt easily. Don't pull any of your corporate power-play crap on her."
I set my wine glass down on the counter.
This was all just so, so pathetic.
