At first, Travis had settled on celibacy. It seemed like the best thing to do. It was sleeping with someone that did end his marriage, and of course his many failed hookups following the divorce. But with news of the singles mixer, and failed basket bidding, he thought, Why Not? Who could it hurt that he was here, mingling among people. Well, after a few drinks, a lot could  hurt. Somewhere between a few beers and some whiskey, he was determined on getting Aileen back. It killed him to imagine what they had was gone for good. There had to be a way to get her back. He saw Aileen walk in, just as beautiful as she was on their wedding day. Earlier in the night he had acquired some roses, making somewhat of a homemade bouquet. Maybe, it would work, if only he was lucky. “Hi,” he smiled, approaching her, raising the pink flowers. “I...got you these.” / @aileenphang​

Life was strange. Out of all the ways Travis thought he would reconnect with his ex-wife, a singles mixer was not one of them, but then again he would take anything. He promised her then that he would take her out, on a real date, just like before. The way he was courting her was similar to when they first started dating, but now with a tenacity like never before. He was dressed up nice, roses in his hand, a bright smile on his face as he knocked on her door. “Hi,” he grinned as she opened the door. / @aileenphang​
