teased.
    He grimaced.
    Aron’s eyebrows shot up. “What? I didn’t know about this. You guys went out?”
    “It wasn’t exactly going out.” Graham scratched his baldhead.
    “He sent me a love note,” Dayna proclaimed. “It was so sweet. I slept with it under my pillow for three nights.”
    “You did?” He perked up.
    Looking at Graham’s expression, Aron could tell that this was bound to be interesting. “So, what happened?”
    Dayna leaned back. A smile played on her lips. “On the morning of the fourth day, I went to school, happy and secure in the knowledge that someone LIKED me very much and what did I see, when I entered our class?”
    “I don’t think Aron needs to know this.”
    “Yes, I do.” Aron turned to face Dayna. A naughty gleam showed in her eyes. “What did you see?”
    “I saw Graham sitting on his chair and the new girl, the one who came in a day before, Lauren Rose, was sitting at his desk. His gaze was fixed on her beautiful face and he didn’t even glance at me when I came in. My heart was broken into pieces and I don’t think I fully recovered.”
    Aron shook his head. He put his hand on her shoulder. “Graham! You insensitive bastard. You hurt mi querida , my darling!”
    “Hey! Lauren Rose had these big, blue eyes and a cute, little mole, right here.” Graham pointed to his right cheek. “She stole my heart. What can I say?”
    Dayna sniffed. “I never did get an apology.”
    Aron raised an eyebrow and glared at Graham, quite enjoying the way his friend squirmed. “I believe you owe my lady an apology.”
    Graham walked over. Leaning forward, he grasped Dayna’s hand. “My dear, please accept my heartfelt apology. I was insensitive and uncouth.”
    “Still are!” Aron joked. He took a quick sip of his beer when Graham directed a steely gaze at him. “Fine. Go on…”
    “I hope you’ll find forgiveness for me in the depths of your heart,” he pleaded. “And it might please you to know that Lauren Rose ditched me for that tall boy…what was his name…ah, yes, Marcus.”
    “He was dreamy.” Dayna sighed. She laughed and pulled her hand away. “You’re forgiven. That Lauren Rose was flighty, wasn’t she?”
    “Like a butterfly.” Graham flopped on the sofa. He raised his butt to pull out a magazine and dumped it on the table. “I heard she moved to the Congo and works in a United Aid Program.”
    “Really. And how would you know?”
    “I stay in touch with people. Maybe I should visit the Congo and see what she’s up to? But I suppose, I should finalize my divorce first.”
    “You haven’t changed a bit.” Aron laughed. “So, what are we eating? And more importantly, are we eating here in this dump?”
    “No! I’m taking you two out. There’s a great Italian place down the block. I love their food. You like Italian, don’t you?”
    “Love it,” they both said in unison.
    Dayna grinned at him. She put her beer bottle down. “I need to freshen up a bit.”
    It was on the tip of Aron’s tongue to tell her that she looked amazing, but he stopped. The mystery of why women needed to refresh their makeup ten times a day baffled him and he would no doubt, earn a sharp retort if he said something about it.
    “That way.” Graham pointed. “It’s reasonably clean, I think.”
    “Reasonably?” Dayna sighed, stood and walked away.
    Aron took another sip of his beer. “Man! I don’t know how you managed to survive a second divorce. I could barely function after the first.”
    “Practice makes perfect,” Graham quipped. He glanced at the door Dayna just closed. “So, you and Dayna, huh? Still can’t believe it.”
    “Yeah, me too. But she’s the one. Always was and always will be. I guess it was stupid of us to break up after high school…but circumstances were such that we both felt that we had no other option.”
    “It was tough, even for her. I saw her around, especially…” Graham stopped, raised his bottle and gulped down what was left
