She sat at the table bemoaning her past.
Ace made a few simple home–cooked dishes and only after he tasted them
did he say. “Let’s have dinner.”
Anna took her fork and popped some of the salad into her mouth.
The vegetables were delicious… But why was it bitter in her mouth?
Her mixed emotions reared their ugly head once more. She felt like she was
about to lose control.
Anna hastily put her fork down, took a deep breath and changed the
subject, “Mr. Robert
“Call me Ace.”

She was slightly stunned.
“Um, or maybe you can tell me about you and your girlfriend?” Anna took a

Anna took a deep breath and hastily averted her eyes, desperately trying to
