Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 1184

Audrey was bustling around her apartment, caught up in the excitement of the evening. She’d spent ages getting ready for dinner with Walter, wanting everything to be just right. After plenty of indecision, she settled on a soft lilac tweed dress that felt both classic and fresh, then layered a long cream coat on top. Her heels were comfortable enough for a night out, but still gave her that elegant, effortless vibe.

Since it was just the two of them tonight, she took her time with her makeup, making sure every detail was perfect. She was already naturally pretty, but a little mascara and blush made her features pop even more. In the mirror, her eyes looked extra bright, almost as if they could talk on their own. She smiled, feeling that surge of confidence a good outfit and a little glam can bring.

When Walter arrived, he paused for a moment, clearly taken aback. For someone who’d seen his fair share of beautiful women, he still couldn’t help but stare for just a second.

“You’re home,” Audrey said, her voice light as she walked over. “Ready to go?”

Walter smiled and opened the car door for her, waiting until she was settled before getting in himself. He’d already made reservations at a restaurant that was known for its cozy atmosphere and amazing food. The place had this understated elegance, with soft lighting and a menu that offered just about everything.

Once they were seated, Walter glanced at her and asked, “Is there anything you don’t eat?”

Audrey leaned on her hand, her eyes playful. “Actually, yes. I don’t do onions, ginger, or garlic. No carrots or bell peppers, and nothing too spicy. Oh, and nothing that’s heavy on the heart. Hope you can remember all that, Mr. Wilson. You know, since we’ll probably be having meals together a lot more often.”

Walter didn’t seem to think much of her hint. He just raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile tugging at his lips. “Got it. I’ll remember.”
