Mason prewed him. “What did she say!”
Extan estated, then lied. “Uh, she said she’s had a few drinks and can i drive. She suggested you call a driver.”

“You did.” Mason stared at her histone suddenly filled with unexpected vulnerability. “Whe came back, you didn’t want me anymore. I’ve just been a wand–in for him all these years”
“What When did Tever treat you like a stand–in?”
If anything she had been the replacement for his beloved
She didn’t know if Mason was hearing her or not. Suddenly, he leaned down and kissed her.
Unlike the forceful Lisses from earlier in the day, this one felt natural just like the way he had kissed her countless times before.
His lips tasted like alcohol, and Celeste tried to push him away, but Mason only held her tighter.
Don’t leave. “he whispered
Celeste could only sich in esasperation
He was dinging to her like a koala, and no matter what she did, she couldn’t shake him off.
So, in the end, she just let him hold her as they both collapsed onto the couch. She had no idea when she finally fell asleep.
When she woke up, she found herself still wrapped in Mason’s arms. The two of them were squished together on the small couch, barely fitting
The couch wasn’t big enough for one person, let alone two.
Mason’s body was half hanging off the side, while she had somehow ended up sleeping on top of him.
The position was too intimate for her liking. Fully awake now, Celeste shoved him hard.
“Mason, wake up: It’s morning. Time for you to leave!”
Mason groaned, squinting his eyes araing the light. His whole body ached.
Where am I? He looked around
you ever show up drunk like that again, I’ll call the cops, Celeste threatened.
Mason hadn’t even fully gathered his thoughts before she unceremoniously licked him out the door.
Standing outside, staring at the closed door, Mason rubbed his head in confusion
That’s when one of the neighbors popped out, chuckling “Kicked out by your wife again, huh??
How did even the neighbors know about this? And what did she mean by “again“)
A thought crossed Mason’s mind, and he asked, “Ma am, do you want to sell your house!”
The woman looked him up and down, eyeing his sharp suit, and replied, “Are you a real estate agent!”
It seemed like those men all dressed like that.
