PRESENT DAY
Ivy walks inside her room and heads over to the closet, she opens it and brings out her suitcase. She starts throwing clothes in when the door opens revealing a nervous-looking Cole. Anyone in his position will be equally nervous, his wife just caught him with his lover and now she is packing her things.
Ivy snuggles under a big blanket as she buries her face on a pillow. Her cheeks red, her face puffy, her eyes dry, she's already tired of crying.She hears the door of her hotel room open, making her lift her head. "Go away!" She yells."How dare you ditch us? This is the worst bachelorette ever, even Lucy is getting cold feet about getting married." Lili yells as she walks
"Mum's going to flip when she finds out that her two daughters are getting a divorce." Lili mocks as she drags her luggage behind her sister."Tell me about it, the nonexistent demons behind our failed marriages will have their ears full." Ivy drops her bag on the doorstep before she rings the doorbell.

IVY'S POINT OF VIEW"My marriage is doomed." I breathed out in defeat, sulking on a bite of cheeseburger and bottle of Coke."It can't be that bad." My best friend's words, those exact words are what I have been holding on to, tryin
IVY'S POINT OF VIEW.I'm excited. No, ecstatic is a better word. Not only did I finish the last chapter of the novel have been working on for months now, but Cole and I are also going on a date.Yeah, a date.
"Remind me why we are going for this vacation." I rolled my eyes folding the outfits I'll be wearing.Cole has been bitching about the vacation ever since we got home from that dinner, have you know it's been weeks now."You are going because you promised to make this marriage work and I'm going because I have never gone for a vacation." Well, except from that time my dad took my
IVY'S POINT OF VIEWRemember that first kiss that I didn't want to talk about or tell my darling husband? Well, guys meet Wilder Wood my first kiss.It happened on the first day of senior year when we got stuck in the school's janitor's closet, apparently, it was a prank meant for a nerd. If you guessed, then you are right, Wilder was Cole high school bully, ma
IVY'S POINT OF VIEW"Wow, what a view." I removed my shades, placing it in my hair before looking up, I know that voice all too well.Wilder. Thought I won't have to see his annoyingly handsome face again, guess I w

"I have news." Meghan squeals as she enters Ivy's room. Ivy sits up from her bed to see why her friend is so happy."I'm trying to sleep," Ivy grumbled as Meghan jumps on her bed."Well don't, there's big news."
"This party is boring," Lucy grumbles staring at the male stripper on the stage of the bar trying so hard to be sexy, which is cringe. "Where is everyone?" She turns to Lucy whose eyes are glued to her phone."Probably waiting for your next bachelorette." Lucy mocks."Are you making fun of me like the rest?" Lucy glares at her best friend, who knows the reason fo
"Did I mention that you look beautiful?" Harvey takes Meghan's hand into his. They are both in his car, about to drive off for their date."Only 3 times, but you can continue." Meghan smiles. For these past few days, Harvey has made her feel happy and appreciated and she can't remember when she had felt that with a man. He is different from her other baby daddies and it scares her, she is used to the assholes.
"I love you Goddamn it."Ivy lets out a sharp breath, her heart pounding so hard that she swears can hear it beat. Her brain is on shut down, it prevents her from having to process his words and hence she has no reply.Wilder feels that a huge weight should be lifted off him, he has been wanting to express his feelings for her for years but wh

"I know you are avoiding me," Ivy speaks up after a few seconds of uncomfortable silence."And why would I do that?" Wilder gives a mischievous smile just to cover up the fast heartbeat which is a result of being in close proximity to her."I don't know, you probably heard my conversation with Meghan."
