I Fell for the Man Who Ruined Me, Then He Forgot He Ever Loved Me Back novel Chapter 85

They were regulars at this restaurant, so Sienna efficiently ordered several of Elara's favorite dishes, along with two glasses of sparkling water.

The food arrived quickly, and soon the table was packed with a mouthwatering spread.

Elara rushed in, looking completely drained.

"I'm so annoyed. This patient... I asked her how she got injured, and she started the story all the way back from the blind date with her first husband. I swear..."

"Woah?" Elara stopped mid-sentence, her eyes glued to her friend.

Having known her for years, she could instantly tell something was different about Sienna today.

Sienna had a perfect oval face, and as she slightly lowered her head, the line of her jaw looked incredibly soft and fluid.

Right now, her long hair cascaded like a waterfall over her shoulders. Beneath the restaurant's warm, golden lighting, her pitch-black strands caught a gentle sheen. Her soft curls framed her delicate skin, and paired with the oversized knit sweater, she looked both elegant and fiercely seductive.

"Damn, looking this gorgeous. Are you going on a blind date today?" Elara teased.

Sienna looked up, let out a sigh, and said dryly, "Yeah. He can feed himself, use the bathroom, and recite his multiplication tables. What do you think?"

Elara flashed a highly inappropriate smirk. "Sounds great. Come back to my place tonight; my dog can do sit-ups. I'll show you."

"So frivolous. Pass."

"Hey, seriously, how long has it been since we had a sleepover? Come to my place tonight, Derry definitely misses you."

Derry was Elara's little poodle.

As Elara spoke, she sat down across the table, reached for a glass of sparkling water, and took a sip.

She immediately frowned. "This has no kick. Why didn't you order a drink? I have tomorrow off, I can just call a designated driver."

Elara knew Sienna enjoyed a good drink; it was practically a staple of their meetups here.

But to her surprise, Sienna calmly replied, "I quit."

"Quit? I know you better than that. There's no way you could quit..."

Sienna deadpanned, "Drinking caused an incident."

Seeing her friend look so listless and sound so defeated, Elara was left speechless.

Her heart dropped into her stomach. "An incident? You didn't—you didn't drive drunk, did you??"
