Other than his family, she seldom interacted with anyone else.

Micah thought back and realised, once again, how little he knew about her.

Why didn’t she tell him she was a model?

Micah had to thank Ryan for dragging him here tonight.

Without his friend, he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to discover yet another fascinating facet of his ex

wife.

Thinking of her, he scanned the crowd again.

Ryan, on the other hand, was getting antsy.

He had been to enough such parties to become jaded.

His patience was wearing thin, even as he exchanged contact numbers with a longlegged model, the sixth girl to approach him tonight.

Can we go now? he griped. I’m late for my laser tag game.

Micah said nothing.

Ryan waved his phone in hand. I’ve got half a dozen girlsnumbers here. You can pick any one as your date for the party next week. Mission accomplished. Let’s just go.

Crap!he swore under his breath when he glimpsed a trio of figures standing under a tree.

One of them was none other than the woman Micah was pining for.

Micah stopped in his tracks.

A breeze carried over snippets of their conversation.

I know you said no gifts,Darya said. So I donated a million dollars to your favourite charity in your name.

Aw, thanks, Dolly. Harley hugged her friend. That’s the best kind of gift I can ask for.
