Saturday rolled around for the guys the same as it used to do. They exercised together as weekend warriors. They met and ate at the diner. But one thing was different. Each felt the absence of Laura for the week, which left their hearts a tad emptier and hope at being chosen by her a little bleaker.
Alex, who had been absent from the guys’ weekend ritual, felt it harder than the rest. Last weekend she was in his arms 24/7 in his California King sized bed. This Saturday he was sitting on a hard booth bench with two other guys, each of whom felt like she was no longer interested in seeing or speaking to them, let alone dating them exclusively.
Naturally, instead of politics, sports, or other local current events, the topic on each guy’s mind was the lovely Laura.
