I sighed. I know I can't escape Dana's claws. She's a psychologist and I know whether I tell her the truth or not, she still has her own way of squeezing the truth out of me anyway.

"Fine," I sighed again with my lower lip between my teeth.

"What? Who is he? What is your connection with him?"

"He's Luke, Luke Marcuz Williams, my ex-husband."

And that left her open-mouthed for a few seconds. I held my breath for I don't know how long waiting for her reaction, but to my surprise, I didn't get I was expecting in my head. Instead, it's the opposite happened.

"Oh, my God, Sam! Are you serious, he's your ex-husband?"

I frowned as I hinted a sound of excitement in her voice.

"Yes, he's my ex-husband, the one I've been telling you and the father of my daughter---" but I was interrupted when suddenly she laughed out loud in front of me. "Dana!

"I'm sorry, I just can't believe it. Oh, my gosh, he is so--- the heck! He is so handsome, Sam! Your ex-husband is like a Greek God sent from above!" She then squealed in excitement.

"Holy crap!" I murmured, my eyes couldn't believe what I was seeing at that moment.

Take note---she's already engaged, for heaven's sake!

"Dana, do you know what the word 'ex' means? Ex- is a word-forming element, which in English simply means 'former'... someone who is no longer in your life. An old flame, ex-partner, ex-husband."

"Yeah, I know that girl, but I didn't say anything. I just said 'your ex-husband is so handsome' that's all. Why do you seem so defensive, duh?" She rolled her eyes while still laughing.

"Haha... that's so funny!" I playfully narrowed my eyes on her.

"I know, right." She shrugged, still having the evil grin on her lips. "Anyway, do you think by now Caleb already knew that you were his friend's ex-wife?"

"Tss! Of course! You and Caleb have the same personality. You always get what you want, so for sure he won't stop bothering Luke until he finds out the truth."

"Whoa! My friend!"

"What?" I turned to her confused as her eyes widened and I didn't know why or what the reason was.

"It's the first time you've mentioned his name... again." She gave emphasis on the last word and I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Haist! You're crazy! What's wrong with mentioning his name?" I asked but she just gave me a naughty smile.

"Hmm... let's go back to the counter!"

My eyes widened when she stood up, so I quickly grabbed her wrist.

"Hey, Dana---"

"I have a lot of things to ask your 'ex-husband'". She winked at me.

"And what for, I mean, what are the things that you have to ask him? I told you he's now my ex-husband." I said getting up but haven't released her hand yet.

"Ohh, sweetie, when I said I have a lot of things to ask your ex-husband, I meant business and not about you and his past relationship. Tsk.tsk.tsk," she said smirking that made me drop her hand in an instant.

I think I'm going crazy with this friend of mine.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go." And she started walking to the door, but then she stopped before opening it and turned to me with a wicked grin. "By the way, masyado kang apektado, girl. Tsk.tsk.tsk... at masyado ring halata!" (You're so affected, girl, and it's too obvious.)

"Huh! Jesus Christ, Dana!" I screamed but she hadn't heard it as she already exited the door.
