Dear EX

My hands were shaking so badly I could barely type the order into the computer terminal.
"Hey, Nina," Sarah whispered, passing by with a tray of wine glasses. "Are you okay? You look like you just saw a ghost."
"I'm fine," I lied through my teeth. "Just a lot of pressure."
Ten minutes later, after I served their wine and main courses, Julianna stood up from the table with a bright smile.
"I'm just going to step into the powder room for a minute, darling," she told Roman, patting his shoulder softly.
"Take your time, sweetie," Roman replied smoothly.
