Ex-Husband's Regret (by Evelyn M.M) novel Chapter 39

I sniff the roses feeling grateful. Rowan has never once bought me flowers. Hell, he has never treated me like I was important to him. In his mind, I was an inconvenience that he had a child with.

“Let me just put them in water and then we can leave” I turn around and head to the kitchen.

After putting the flowers in a vase, we leave.

I was both nervous and excited at the same time. I didn’t know what to do or say. I mean what do you do during dates? What do you talk about? And who is supposed to start the conversation. I was so out of my element that I was afraid I was going to mess things up.

“Is it weird that I’m scared shitless, though I’ve gone on more dates than I can count?” Ethan asks, breaking the silence.

I laugh. Feeling relieved. The anxiety that had caged me fades away.

“Not at all…I was also hyperventilating. I’ve been nervous the whole day.” I confess. “It made it hard to focus on my classes”

Though my students were happy to have me back. They could tell that my mind was else where. They even called me out on my abnormal behavior.

“I had to file a report repeatedly because I kept messing it up” he chuckles and I grin at him.

It eased my anxiety knowing that I wasn’t the only one that was nervous.

We talk about how our days were and I couldn’t help but think how easy things were between us. This was how things should have been with Rowan. Instead he decided that the only one good enough was Emma. He decided that I didn’t deserve a chance.

“We’re here” Ethan says.

I look at the place where we had parked. The restaurant’s name was familiar but I’d never eaten there before. I was also curious because it looked fancy.

“I heard the food here was great so I thought we could try it” he tells me as he turns off the engine.

Getting out, he rounded the car then came and opened the door. He helps me down and leads me inside. His hand at my lower back.
