Conflict Of Hearts
I apply light makeup and head to the reception, where Lídia is already waiting, radiant in a soft pink dress.
“That dress is perfect! I don’t get how you’re still single.”
I laugh, and we start walking to the car.
“Me? I don’t want the headache. Men just want a second mom, and I’m not into that.”
We laugh together, and soon we arrive at the club. The place is packed, everyone dancing to the loud music. We head straight to the bar, where I place my order:
“Two whiskies, neat, please.”
The bartender looks at us with some interest, but I ignore him. I down my drink in one go, letting the warmth of the whiskey spread through me. Then I pull Lídia onto the dance floor.
