Her eyes flicked down to her badge. “Uhm.. yeah, I got married..” she said. She didn’t feel like bringing up the divorce, it might seem like she was just fishing for compliments.
Damn, he didn't mean to fuck everything up so soon. They ate and continued to talk, but he noticed she never really recovered from his statement. He didn't bring it up again.
They said goodbye after dinner, and she headed up to her room. She should have brought up the divorce. She noticed he seemed sad after she talked about the marriage.
"Fucking idiot." He muttered to himself in the elevator, "Way to go, dumbass. She obviously was trying to spare your feelings and you had to go and ruin it."
She simply texted him goodnight, and tried to get some sleep. The next day, she was out walking the floor again, still putting on a smile. Her pencil skirt hugged her hips, her shirt, tastefully undone, showed off just enough to catch eyes.
"Elizabeth." He found her again, almost too easily, "I'm sorry about last night, there's obviously something you don't want to talk about and I respect that...I wanna have a do over, if that's ok?"
