Ex-Husband's Regret (by Evelyn M.M) novel Chapter 38

Ava

I was a nervous wreck as I prepared for my date with Ethan. It’s been two weeks since I was discharged from the hospital and I was all better. The doctor gave me the clear and I even gotten back to work a few days ago.

In the two weeks, a lot has changed. Letty and I have gotten closer and so has Ethan and I. He’d asked me out a couple of days ago. I had agreed whole heartedly.

Ethan was good for my ego. He made me laugh and relax. With him I was at ease. When I was around him I forgot about Rowan. I forgot about my broken heart.

“Hair up or down?” I ask Letty.

We were on video chat and she was helping me get ready.

If I was being honest, this is the first time I’ve ever gone out on a date. Like I mentioned before, I wasn’t the kind of girl that boys asked out before.

When I was married, Rowan never took me out. In fact we never did the normal things couples did when they were in love. There was no dinner dates for me. It would be a surprise if Rowan even made it home for dinner most days.

“Definitely up, you have a beautiful long neck, you should flaunt it.” Letty says pulling me out of my thoughts. “Ethan will definitely imagine kissing it and running his tongue down it the entire time.”

My cheeks color at the picture she painted. I was married for fucks sake, yet such a comment made me blush.

“I’m sure you’re exaggerating” I mumble, trying to hide my embarrassment.

“No I’m not. You’re a beautiful woman and any man would be lucky to have you”

“I’m not beautiful” I say automatically. It was sort of a knee jerk reaction.

I wasn’t beautiful. I knew that. Hearing everyone tell you how beautiful your sister is, nails in that fact. It also didn’t help that other parents used to tell my mother that I wasn’t poised, elegant, neat or put together like Emma was.

“Yes, you are…you’re the only one who doesn’t see it. All you need is a confidence boost and I swear men will be scrambling and falling over themselves to have you”

I put my hair up in a messy bun, with loose tendrils framing my face.
