Summary

“Hang on. Why aren’t you saying your f-bombs? Not once in that whole rant did you say the ‘F’ word!” Now I’m looking at her like she’s lost it. “And?” I ask, needing her to finish.
“Well, ever since Ash-hole, you’ve sworn like a sailor. Now, why the hell aren’t you swearing, woman?”
I end up laughing, only because it’s a strange thing to point out. But then again, now that I think about it, I realise she’s right. Huh, strange. I told Stacey it’s probably because the kids are in the house.
“Hmm… well, I’m thinking this hot fella may have something to do with this huge change,” Dawn says, and I end up twisting my face in confusion. What bloody change? “Oh, hell no. No way! He’s arrogant, and totally in love with himself. I’ve told you, I’ve got no time for men. I’m-”
It’s no good. She cut me off anyway.
“Yeah, yeah, you’re all ‘work and no play. Mars, listen, you need to let go of the past before life passes you by. Trust me, if you don’t then you’re gonna be in your thirties drawing your twelve cats!”

“Honey, he has the tattoo, so you know it could be fate. Seriously, are you willing to push him away? Do you truly want to be alone all your life? Hell, you never know, he might just be your K-” I cut her off before she could finish that sentence. “Stop right there! Woman, no way is he my anything. I’ve only known him for a week, for shit’s sake. I mean, I’m not ready, okay?” Yeah, who am I kidding? The man's sex on a stick, of course I’m ready. But is he ready for my crazy life?
