Carmel had been dreading this day from the minute she opened the invitation and saw Alex’s name on it with some other girl’s name tying the knot. Alex was her long term boyfriend, they were together all through college and even after, at least until he decided he can’t be with her if she really decide to go to L.A to join Masterchef. Obviously, Carmel went to L.A anyway and the four years relationship ended even without him saying goodbye before she left Denver. Since then Carmel didn’t really have any significant and serious relationship, the flings she had back in L.A were just a month or two worth of dating, at least until she met Thor and could actually see herself being with him for the long run.
When she received the invitation last month, she was crushed, but she also wanted to showed him that she had moved on as well, so she RSVP-ed to the party with a plus one. Her first thought was to take Thor, but he couldn’t get out of an important meeting about the hotel, so she went to Andrew and asked if he would want to be her date for the evening. Luckily he said yes and that’s how they ended up sitting and drinking while the bride and groom are dancing. Carmel finished her champagne in one swig and called the waiter to filled her glass again, “Oh just leave the bottle here,” she said, taking the bottle and placed it down on the table, clearly seeing how happy Alex is made the green eyed monster inside her awoken, “She’s not even that pretty,” she grumbled again, okay that was a lie, the girl was gorgeous, “And what? They’ve only been dating for 7 months! Can you believe that?” she asked drunkenly to Andrew who sat next to her.
