"Nothing," I said shrugging my shoulder.

"And what is he talking about Brandon being your husband?" Her eyes bored into mine, asking for an explanation.

"He made his assumption Jenna." sighing, I showed the ring. Slowly, I trudged the short gap between me and the bed. Sitting on the end side I looked around, trying to avoid Jenna's piercing look.

Knowing Jenna, she won't be satisfied until I tell her the whole drama. So, I begin the story with the first incident, splashing the coffee on his shirt. I have to stop a few times when she needs me to repeat the biting episode.

It can be our final stop," I suggest.Regina bursts into laughter. "So that I'll be too exhausted to shop?"Hearing her laughter, especially after our somewhat awkward introduction, feels refreshing.
