Chapter 1

• In a private restaurant that serves only steak in the heart of the city in France.
• A blonde lady in a tight hug black shining strapless knee-length gown. Her beautiful long hair is braided in a French braid and lips painted with sparkling red lipstick and a scent of Eau de perfume mixer in the air. Dawn's focus is on her plate and she savours every bite inattentively and does not notice the guy with ink-black hair and cerulean blue eyes staring at her intently from the other side of the table.
• The sharp gaze of her blazing savannah green eyes met with the handsome gentleman. This made the delicious steak in her mouth taste like a burnt heart. She instantly took a long sip of the blue liquid in her royal blue glass to break the awkwardness.
• ‘Merde! Was I eating too fast again ' she thought twisting her lips to the left like one who has been busted by her mother while stealing a Popsicle. Her shy eyes looked away and back at him and again swung to her plate.
• The man she was eating with is her long-time best friend and recent boyfriend of three years, Luca Martinez. She had seen him in a mall at the ring section and without a doubt thinks he wants to pop the big question yet every moment made her nervous. Did she honestly want to marry this man? Sure he is wealthy a big CEO of a design company and he is beau, dashing and philanthropic. He is every girl's dream but not hers.
• Is this what she wants?
• He will make her happy, he loves her but...
• Shoving all her thoughts by gulping an entire glass, Dawn wiped the corner of her mouth nicely and fabricated a mild smile.
• Luca's complexion become white and place his hands wiped his face in shock." What have you done? "
• The calm atmosphere became buried in incredulity.
• Sucking in the air she said impavidly “Anything wrong ".Dawn was astounded by the recent change, his face beamed with acquiescing and now he glimpsed as awestruck.
• Luca's blue eyes became dark, he licked his lower lip causally and chimed in “You swallowed the ring I had to propose to you.
• ****
• Three months later
• In a garage sale on Mariana Lively -- Alarie mini-mansion. Dawn walked out in a sunny flair dress and a tight ponytail to match, her blonde hair had blue highlights on both sides. She carried a brown box barely able to breathe when she set the box down. She gasp for air and placed both hands on her hips restlessly.
• “Heh, two more at the back " a cold voice ordered from behind it was Marianne, Dawn's best friend and the person having the garage sale.
• Dawn turned to her and gave her an obvious look telling them she was tired and how exhausting she looked was not enough to prove her point.
• Marianne is a tall average looking person with black hair and eyes. She is about to get married and is clearing out things from her house for spring cleaning through a garage sale before moving in with her son to be her husband.
• “I know, I know…You are stressed.” Maria rolled her eyes forth and back when she noticed Dawn did not get the sarcasm in her tone.” I am getting married in three days and you are the one looking all worked up. Fuck!, it's been three months”
• “I said no ” Dawn muttered dejectedly removing the glass figurines from the brown box and beautifully positioning them on a table covered with a colourful blanket.
• “If he can't take rejection, fuck him! " Marriage grunted pushing her hair behind and tugging them neatly behind her small ears.
• “I swallowed the ring "she utter bummed out while her shoulders dropped.
• “So?, it happens in almost every bad TV show ” Marie walked over and together they placed the box on a table.
• "It was his late great grandmother's ring”
• Dawn palmed her face in shame. " Did you know how I had to force it out of my body?”
• “Oh, don't tell... poop, “Marie asked in shock in barely a whisper.
• “No, Marie. I had to make myself vomit. I can never face him again " the softness in her voice had a pinch of pain.
• Marianne waved her hands dismissively “Suck it up! He is my husband's best man " Marie suddenly stopped before continuing " And you know what --I will get you a date. So you won't feel left out”
• “Really " Dawn questioned raising her eyes from the ground to the huge smile on Marriane's face.
• Marie suddenly uttered in a cocky manner “Promise, I will set you up right now "
• They hug again, now Dawn could finally breathe properly. Luca is Marie's soon-to-be husband's best friend. So he must be at the party and one thing will all know is making sure your ex doesn't see you as a loser.
