I see her sure, confident walk. The tight black jeans under a fitted red leather jacket.
She rounds the corner, stepping into the room like she owns it.
Her deep brown eyes land on me immediately. A soft smile plays on her plump pink lips.
I feel the atmosphere in the room change.
The men who recognize her seem to stop breathing.
The men who don’t watch in confused fascination.
I don’t know what to f*****g think. What to feel. What to do.
“Hello, Lucio,” she says coolly. “It’s been a while.”
My ex-wife’s name falls from my lips like hot ash.
Vanessa wags her eyebrows at me.
“I’m here to rescue you,” she says again, dramatic as all hell. “Knight in shining armor status. Whyelse would I put on such a hideous set of clothes? This is all for you, baby.”
I’m not sure whether to laugh
