It was only 3 hours ago that I was sitting on my bed and sulking with my ticket in my hands. The moment Dinah heard my story she asked me to get my fucking ass on that plane and helped me pack a suitcase and was currently driving me towards the airport.

I know it will be a miracle if we make it to the airport in time but at least I won't regret not even trying once. Also,with the amount of traffic lights Dinah seemed to have jumped,I may have teeny tiny hope that we just might make it in time. For my flight to Dublin.

It was 5 pm right now,the sun was starting to set in Miami,coloring the sky in hues of oranges and pinks and yellow. My ex-wife always loved the sun at this time of the day.

Stop it Camila,stop thinking about her. Its been two months now since you've both separated and she hasn't as much as tried to talk to you even once. If it weren't for your friends Dinah and Normani you literally would have to live with your parents after she very insolently packed your things and asked you to leave 'her' house. The house that both of you built together for the past 4 years,the house that had the essence of both of you in it. She simply decided that it was only hers now and threw you out like trash. Well at least you got the Mercedes after the divorce. That seemed like a good bargain,besides Dinah and Normani's flatmate had just vacated their place a week ago. So that worked out pretty fine for you. You also have your job teaching those beautiful 5 year olds. It was enough to pay off the rent and get food on the table. I mean,in a way she was spoiled when she was with her. Her ex-wife decided that she would give Camila absolutely anything she would desire. She would just have to say something that she needed and bam it would be present in front of her the very next day. Its a difficult process to do things herself again and Camila is certain it'll take her some getting used to but she'll be damned if she ever tries to get back together with her Ex-wife again or ask her for anything ever again.

This trip to Dublin was planned way before things went downhill. It seems only like yesterday when Camila had surprised her ex-wife with two tickets to Dublin,well she was still with her wife back then. She knew how much her wife loved that place and wanted to go there since forever. So she saved money from her job and decided to surprise her. The tickets she had booked were two months from then,it'll be February by the time of their trip. Camila thought they could celebrate Valentine's day and their 7th anniversary in the beautiful place which her wife loved. She was really happy when her wife grinned at her like an idiot and started jumping around because she was that excited.

Of course things were different now,everything about this trip would be different now. But the reasons Dinah gave her were convincing enough to get her sulking ass out of the bed and into the car. Camila had been a mess without her ex-wife for days now. Of course she worked and interacted with her students,hung out with Dinah and Normani everyday,but that was all she ever did. Work,home,bed. That was Camila's life in a nutshell now. Dinah told her that since she was the one who had spent her hard earned money on these tickets and all the other reservations she should make full use of it. Also,a change of scenery was desperately required for Camila,Dinah even called Camila's school and got her 2 weeks off of work. Normani being a bit more sensible advised her to listen to her heart, and think about when she got the tickets and the excitement she felt at the thought of visiting a new place with so many things to explore. The two of them made a compelling argument and within the next hour Camila found herself seated inside Dinah's car and calling her mother and letting her know about this trip of hers.
