She is exhausted and I look at them appreciating my SECOND CHANCE in life. THE END

If they knew, they would only push me into attending another second-chance evening. I had once made the mistake of going. The set-up resembled human speed dating: women seated at tables while men moved from one to the next.

I shot him a skeptical glance. "Second chances? Do they exist?" He shrugged, taking a sip of his drink. “I think they do. Sometimes you need to shuffle the pieces around to see the bigger picture. And hey, that's why I'm here. To help you with anything you need.” I cracked a small smile. “Thanks, Drake. I appreciate it.” We settled into a more comfortable conversation and ordered more drinks.
