Now Or Never: A Last Chance Romance (Part 1) - Plot & Excerpts
“I know a guy isn’t supposed to ask a woman her age. But you look kind of young to have been married, divorced, and gone a dozen years without dating.” I smile. I feel like beaming, actually. But I keep it to a mere smile. He thinks I look young. How young, I wonder? Not as young as those girls he’s been eyeing — even still, from the bar. “I got pregnant in college.” “Ouch. That sucks,” he says. “Well, I have my son,” I say, slightly indignant. “Yeah, but…” He lets the but linger, heavy in the air. Weighty. Painful. As it has been for the past dozen years. Yes, I have my son. But I am alone. And now, thanks to the intimate details of my fellow salon-goers sexual exploits, I realize despite what I’ve been telling myself all these years, I have missed out. This hits me as hard as the cancer diagnosis, maybe harder. Because while getting sick was out of my control, putting my life on hold was my decision.
